Ingredients

• 150-175ml milk
• 150ml cream
• 1 egg
• 425g self-raising flour
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 100g chopped, dried dates
• finely grated rind of 1 lemon

Preparation method

1.   Preheat oven to 200°C fan (220 C without fan). Line large flat baking tray with baking parchment.
2.   Whisk 150ml milk, the cream and egg together until well combined. Combine flour, sugar, dates and lemon rind in a large bowl. Add milk mixture and stir gently to a soft dough, adding remaining milk if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough comes together.
3.   Press dough out to 2cm thick. Cut scones from dough and place onto tray flat-side up. Press dough together gently and repeat using the remaining dough. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden and well risen. Serve hot with jam and cream.
