Date Scones

Directions

Combine the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the bran, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar.

Cut in the butter. (Or combine in a food processor, just until crumbly.)

Add the egg, buttermilk and dates; do not overmix.

(If the dough seems too sticky to work with add a couple more tablespoons flour.)

Shape the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick on a floured surface.

Cut into 12 triangles. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350-degree oven about 25 minutes.

Cool on a rack.
