Cinnamon and Date Scones

Scones and tea (or coffee) are a delicious combination. Why not give your regular scone recipe a miss and try our healthy and scrumptious Cinnamon and Date Scones instead? They’re a perfect morning or afternoon treat.

Serves: 12

Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 30g margarine
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates (soaked before chopping)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 200g smooth ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 200g bananas

Method

In a large bowl, mix the cinnamon and flour, rub in the margarine with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs and then stir in dates. Use a butter knife to gently mix in milk until just combined. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly before patting out to a 3cm thickness. Use a floured scone cutter to cut 12 rounds from the dough, place on a tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes.

Mix ricotta and honey together, spoon onto warm scones and serve with banana slices – or fresh fruit of your choice.
