36.00 gm sugar

2 ⅖ gm salt

Fremgangsmåte

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a baking tray with melted butter or margarine to grease lightly.

Step 2

Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the orange rind and dates.

Step 3

Combine the orange juice, egg and milk in a small jug. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the combined liquids. Mix the liquid into the dry ingredients with a round-bladed knife until the mixture starts to come together. Use your hands to form the mixture into a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and press into a 2cm-thick round. Cut out the dough with a floured 5cm scone cutter and place onto prepared tray. Repeat with any remaining dough scraps.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and sound hollow when tapped. Serve warm with butter.
