I’ve been making variations of these tender, flaky scones for a few years now, with small tweaks here and there. On this occasion, I\u2019ve combined wholemeal flour with coconut yoghurt, gooey dates and a touch of lemon.<\/p>\n
There are so many ways to have fun with this recipe. Next time, I\u2019d like to try prunes, orange and poppy seed, or perhaps vanilla and dried figs could make a lovely textural addition to the dough. Chocolate chunks, apricots and a small pinch of spices would also be very, very good. You see, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour<\/em> Pre-heat the oven to 200C, and line a tray with baking paper.<\/p>\n Combine the flour, coconut sugar, sea salt, baking soda and lemon zest in a large bowl, and whisk to combine.<\/p>\n Rub in the coconut oil or butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, then mix in the yoghurt and dates, until you have a soft dough. If the mixture is a little dry, you can add a little more yoghurt until it comes together nicely.<\/p>\n Turn the dough out on to the baking tray, and shape into a large circle, about 3 cm high. Mark into 8 triangles, then brush the top with nut milk.<\/p>\n Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or lightly golden and nicely risen.<\/p>\n Allow to cool slightly, then enjoy warm.<\/p>\n Makes 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been making variations of these tender, flaky scones for a few years now, with small tweaks here and there.
