Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C and grease and flour a baking tray.

Rub the butter into the flour in a large bowl to create breadcrumbs.

Mix in the sugar and salt.

Gradually add the milk, reserving some for glazing, and mix in the crème fraîche.

Stir in the chopped dates and walnuts until evenly distributed.

Roll the dough on a floured surface to a 2.5cm thickness.

Cut out six scones using a round pastry cutter.

Bake on the prepared tray for 15 to 20 minutes until golden-brown.

Serve warm with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
