How to Make Lemonade Date Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped dates and chilled lemonade. Let the dates soften slightly in the lemonade for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the date-lemonade mixture and the beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  7. Use a knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the scones with milk (optional) and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
