I am a very fussy scone eater, these were amazing. Thank you. Gonna change the dates today to pineapple and coconut and call it a pina colada scone. Wish me luck.

I made these myself again recently, and found the mixture a little moist! something to be aware of is that flour can have different absorbency rates depending on a number of factors- the type of flour, even the weather ( eg. high humidity) Therefore it is always best to hold back a little milk, then only add if it seems necessary. If the dough is too wet it is more difficult to handle and the finished result is not as good as it could be. Cheers, and Merry Xmas.

Hi + Liz's New Zealand kitchen I recently baked my first batch of scones from your recipe and there good surprisingly because I cooked them and im a bad baker, but I didn't have any zest plus I added extra dates and left out the topping because I decided to do individual scones. Thank you for sharing your recipe for others to enjoy, Cheers 👍😋

I have probably added a little over the one cup of dates, but not much more. It would possibly work if the dates were left whole, which is how some people make them. I will try it next time I make them.

Adding the grated orange peels into the milk is the most logical because the orange or lemon peels contain flavors and essential oils that diffuse into milk much better than flour. So, in the milk, the flavors diffuse in a homogenous way.

If I may suggest Liz, perhaps add an edit to your video in the beginning by letting us know you have posted the recipe at the very end of this presentation? I went to the length to transfer the transcript of this video to search out and record the necessary parts onto a Word Document, and thennnnn, I read your response later to a viewer who had a question about quantity of butter, which you answered with; “80g butter and 1 1/2 c milk. Recipe is at the end of the video. Cheers.” Oh crikey, I just groaned from the tedium I’d just gone thru. Oh well. That all said…am making this tomorrow, here in the States (California). I'm a transplanted Aussie from Sydney. Cheers and all the best! ~final note; after that tedium, I'll prolly add a jigger of Jameson Irish Whiskey to the dates! Sláinte - Ha!~

Liz’s Best Date Scones 3 c flour 6 t baking powder 1 T castor sugar 1/2 t salt 1 c dates, roughly chopped 80g butter, cut into small cubes Grated rind of one orange or lemon 1 1/2 c milk Demerara sugar ( optional) Place dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water, leave to soak about 15 minutes, then drain well. Preheat oven to 200deg C Place flour, BP, salt and sugar in the bowl of your food processor, add butter and pulse until still a little chunky. ( OR rub the butter in with your fingertips.) Tip out into a large bowl. Add the dates, mix in with a knife, form a well. Add grated rind to the milk, and pour into the well. Using your knife, mix to a soft dough, adding a little more milk if necessary. Tip the dough out onto a floured board, lightly knead and gently pat into a round. Place on a lightly floured oven tray, cut into 8 segments and if desired sprinkle with Demerara sugar. Place into oven and bake 20-25 minutes. Before serving dust with icing sugar, and a little zested orange or lemon rind.
