Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then beat in the sugar, and set aside. Mix remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold into the whipped cream. Add the pecans and dates.
2
Drop the scones, by ¼ cupful, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the milk, then bake in the oven for 20 min., or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Tips
Want to top your scones with a glaze? Mix together 3 tbsp milk, 1 cup confectioners sugar, and ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Drizzle glaze on after scones have had a chance to cool slightly, but while they’re still a little warm, then let cool completely so glaze hardens and sets.
