Starbucks Date Scones (Copy Cat Recipe)

Ingredients

• 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/4 cup bran
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup buttermilk
• 2/3 cup chopped dates

Directions

Combine the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar. Cut in the butter (or combine in a food processor, just until crumbly). Add the egg, buttermilk and dates; do not over-mix. (If the dough seems too sticky to work with, add a couple more tablespoons flour). Shape the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 12 triangles.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree F oven about 25 minutes.
Cool on a rack.
