5 1/4 ounces pitted dates coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup 2% milk
4 1/2 cups gluten free self-rising flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter chopped
1 egg lightly beaten

1/4 cup brown sugar

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Grease and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Bring dates, baking soda and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly. Add milk and blend or process until smooth.
3
Combine flour, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add egg and date mixture and mix until dough just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Press into a 1 inch thick disc. Cut out 15 rounds, 2 inches each. Place, side by side on prepared pan. Bake for 15 mins, or until scones sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
4
Meanwhile, to make the butterscotch sauce, combine sugar, butter and heavy cream over low heat. Cook for 2-3 mins, or until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins, or until thickened slightly.
5
Serve scones with butterscotch sauce and whipped cream.
