V for Vanilla Date Scones under Baked Dishes for BM #32. If you have been following my space, you would have realized that I love to bake scones. They are very popular with the kids and also I rely on them as I can make them low fat and low sugar thereby making it a healthy snack.
I saw this recipe when looking for options with V and thought it was a good idea to sneak in dates and make it without any additional sugar. The next time I would add a few more dates as I felt that there were not enough dates.
The little one was very adventurous in her toppings. She tried with sugar glaze, chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup. And the husband ate it with Tomato Chutney :).

Ingredients -
*Self Rising Flour 1 cup
Butter milk a little less than 1/2 cup
Vanilla Essence 2 tsp
Dates 5-6 , pitted
Vegetable Oil / Butter 1 Tbsp
Brown Sugar / Raw Sugar 1 tsp for topping
* I used 1/2 cup of All Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup of Wheat Flour 1/4 tsp of Salt and 1/2 Tbsp of Baking Powder
Method Of Preparation -
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Prepare a baking tray by lining a parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the flours and baking powder (skip this if using self rising flour).
In a blender puree the dates along with oil, buttermilk and vanilla essence.
Knead the flour into a sticky dough by adding the pureed date mixture.
Transfer the dough to the baking tray, pat it into a 1/4 inch thick disc. Sprinkle raw sugar all over the dough.
Using a pizza cutter, make 8 wedges and bake for about 12-13 min or until a tester comes out clean.
Remove and serve warm with clotted cream or jam of your choice.

That sounds like a very healthy scone. Love the addition of dates.
I have never made scones. Once I overcome the 'hesitation' of making these,I will be trying your recipe...
Dates is a good option for using in bakes. Done nicely, it tastes great...The scones look really nice, but somehow can't imagine them with tomato chutney :)))
Your hubby seems like mine. Mine will eat chili sauce with gulab jamun. :D
