Not enough butter; not enough baking powder; not enough sugar; too much liquid meaning more flour had to be added when kneading. Finished up like small dinner rolls. Very disappointing. Back to the Edmonds cookbook for me.
Preheat oven to 200°C bake and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in Chelsea White Sugar.
Rub in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the chopped dates.
Combine the egg and milk in a jug. Stir into the flour mixture to make a soft sticky dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 30 seconds or until just smooth.
Pat the dough down into a round or rectangle about 2cm thick. Cut the dough into about 8 squares or rounds, place on prepared tray and brush tops with a little milk.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve with butter and Chelsea Honey Maple Flavoured Syrup.
