Brown date scones

In all the date scone experiments we’ve never managed to get them quite as brown as Nikau did. After wandering passed there today to see what state of ruin it was in (still just completely empty, no tables, chairs, crockery etc) we returned home with renewed enthusiasm for experimentation. We’ve made several batches of the pinwheel variety using the fruit mincer but today blended the paste with the milk to make a very brown liquid. Result – brown date scones that look a LOT like Nikau’s!
