Method

Halve the scones and fill with a mixture of lemon curd and banana plus a dollop of clotted cream.

Bake the rounds on a greased tray for 8-10 minutes until golden, then cool on a wire rack.

Roll the dough to 2.5cm thickness on a floured surface and cut into 7.5cm rounds.

Thoroughly mix the date sauce into the dough.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Gradually add milk while stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Rub the butter into the flour mixture then mix in the egg.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the sugar.

Cook dates with bicarbonate of soda and water in a saucepan over low heat until a sticky sauce forms.
