Date And Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 cup all purpose flour
    3 tablespoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/3 cup cold butter
    3/4 cup chopped dates
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
    1 1/2 cups milk
    milk for brushing
    extra sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
    Sift together wheat and all-purpose flours, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon into a large bowl. Rub butter into dry ingredients until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in dates and chocolate chips. Mix in the milk, just until blended and form dough into a ball.
    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a round cookie cutter into flour (to prevent sticking) then cut out round scones. Place scones on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
    Bake in preheated oven until risen and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
