Steps:
- Heat oven to 220deg and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Put flour, brown sugar and butter into food processor and mix until ingredients are fully combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla. Pulse until just combined.
- Cut dates in half, remove stones and any stalk heads then add to the mixture and mix and pulse for a second or two - not too long if you want the dates to remain chunky.
- As the dough will be quite sticky, rub flour on your hands then collect it into a ball and gently knead it into shape. Toss on a sheet of baking paper sprinkled with flour and shape into a rectangle about 3cm thick. Cut the dough in half longwise, then cut each half into four pieces. Transfer pieces to baking tray leaving room to spread, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until scones are a rich golden colour and sound hollow when tapped.
- NOTE: If you don't have a food processor, rub the butter and flour together with tips of fingers then mix in sugar, buttermilk and vanilla until just combined. Cut dates up and add to mix, stirring to combine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Sift together wheat and all-purpose flours, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon into a large bowl. Rub butter into dry ingredients until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in dates and chocolate chips. Mix in the milk, just until blended and form dough into a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a round cookie cutter into flour (to prevent sticking) then cut out round scones. Place scones on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven until risen and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well. In another bowl stir together the flour, the oats, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sir in the dates and the milk mixture until the mixture just forms a sticky dough. Drop the dough by 1/3-cup measures onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden. (Alternatively the scones may be dropped onto a hot greased griddle and cooked over moderate heat, turning them, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.)
Tips
- Use cold butter: This helps to create flaky layers in the scones.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This helps to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: This ensures that they are cooked through.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, jam, and cream.
