best easy scone recipe /eggless dates scones recipe
It is one of best accompaniment as a tea time snack with soft pillowy texture inside. It has been a long time I have not baked anything. These scone making was in my mind for quite a long time.It is a British type of scones without any eggs and its very easy recipe at its best. Little addition of sugar and dates gives a lightish sweetness to this best easy scone recipe. Its also done without adding sugar or anything. If you keep it just plain ,they can be served with a jam and butter. Its a new try for me and it came out very well. 
Adding baking powder plays an important part for all the fluffiness and rising. According to the recipe that I read from a book its mandatory that butter should be ice-cold. I did as per the instructions and it came out well.If using hand while mixing the flour and butter use finger tips alone. Its best to use a spoon or any laddle to make the whole process till you flatten the dough. This is the best easy scone recipe that you can very well try at home.
