Directions

Serving Size: about 22 scones

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the pecans and dates. Pour the evaporated milk and vanilla over the top. Mix with a fork until a crumbly dough forms. Gather everything together into a ball and knead everything gently together. Do not over mix.
  • Pat dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 1” (2.5 cm) thick. Cut into 2 ½” (7 cm) rounds, using a cookie cutter. Gather up scraps and repeat with remaining dough. Place on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
