Wholemeal Date Scones
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of wholemeal flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder (use 1 tsp. if using self-raising flour)
- pinch salt
- 2 tsp. sugar (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
- milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly dust a baking tray.
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt (and sugar if using) into a large bowl. Add in the meal from the sieve.
- Using your fingertips, rub in the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in dates (fingers work fine), then add the egg and vanilla if using.
- Add 1 Tsp. milk and using your hand, bring the mixture together into a dough, adding more milk as necessary to get a firm, dough-like consistency. Knead the dough once or twice to combine, but don’t overwork the dough.
- Put a little flour onto the bench and form the dough into a thick disk. Using a glass or cutter, cut rounds until all the dough is used. You can form the last of the dough into a rough round.
- Place the scones touching on the tray and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. You know they are cooked through when you can hear a hollow sound when you tap the bottom.
- Serve warm and fresh with your favourite topping.

Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
