Here's the whole wheat date scone recipe: Preheat oven to 400. Mix 2 c. whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 c. all purpose flour, 4 t. baking powder, and 1 t. salt. Cut in 1 stick of cold butter until the size of small peas. Add 1 c. chopped dates. Mix 2 eggs, 1/2 c. plus 1 T. milk, and 1/4 c. honey. Add to the flour mixture. Only stir until just combined. Don't overmix. If necessary you can add a little more milk, but the dough is not supposed to be wet. Press into a circle to a thickness of 1 1/2 inches. Cut into 8-10 wedges. Bake 15-20 minutes.
The recipe calls for brushing with an egg wash which makes them glossy brown, but I don't think it adds anything good to the taste. Maybe they could be brushed with the heavy cream and sprinkled with sugar like the original cream scone recipe!
