Method

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.
