The other day guitar man and I went to get coffee and at the coffee shop there was an empty cabinet that said date scones. There were no date scones which is the worst sort of bullying IMHO. (I'm not even humble) I asked if they had any, and the lady said no but we do have some muffins. Muffins are yuck and I actually HATE them so it was a crushing blow. So today I got off my ass and made date scones. They're so cheap to make and so so easy. And so delicious. I don't know why I don't make them more often. I do - it's because I am lazy, but today I am procrastinating because I have so much to do, I thought I may have put this recipe up, but then when I checked I hadn't. Because I am too cheap-ass to pay for the professional version of this site I just have to google. I did find out that the Fat Gherkin in Moira has the best scones. It is in County Down where my family is from, and I am pleased they have named a town after me. I am a little insulted by the name "Fat Gherkin", and am wondering if they are referring to the fact that when i took the photo of the scones I stuffed another one in my gob. If I was the queen I'd get my cook to make me scones and the butler could bring them to me all the time. There was a discussion about that here because initially I was going to get my butler to make scones, and I was told the butler wouldn't even deliver them, that would be the houseboy, so it is probably good that I am not the queen because of my lack of knowledge around servant protocol. A friend had scones at Windsor castle, and she said they were the best scones she ever had and she doesn't even like scones, but they were yum as. She also met the Queen. The real one not me. You need (this is kinda based on the edmonds)
You should make these. They cost about $1.60 to make a whole heap. Way better than $4.50 for a ghost scone. 10 year old said she ate too many and now she feels sick.
