Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup butter, cold
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup chopped dates
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your hands to mix the butter into the flour mixture, until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  4. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together. Add the dates and chocolate chips and mix until combined.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
  7. Let the scones cool before serving.
