CINNAMON–DATE SCONES

CINNAMON–DATE SCONES

— Scones à la cannelle et aux dattes

Soft with spice and naturally sweetened by dates, Cinnamon–Date Scones are a December tea-table dream — buttery, golden, and best enjoyed warm. Each bite carries the hush of winter mornings, when the kettle sings and the kitchen smells of cinnamon and comfort. Serve with butter, clotted cream, or a spoonful of jam, and let the day slow down around you. From The Gilded Table: December Edition.

Notes ✨
Keep your butter and cream cold — scones love a chilly start for the most tender crumb.
Don’t overmix once the liquid goes in; a light hand keeps them soft (and not tough).
For a little holiday sparkle, brush with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
Dates are naturally sweet — adjust added sugar gently if you prefer a quieter finish.

A tender winter scone — softly spiced, gently sweet, and perfect with tea.
