1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup bran
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1 egg
2/3 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup chopped dates
Combine the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the bran, baking powder, soda,
salt, cinnamon and brown sugar. Cut in the butter. (Or combine in a food processor,
just until crumbly.) Add the egg, buttermilk and dates; do not over mix.
(If the dough seems too sticky to work with add a couple more tablespoons flour.)
Shape the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut
into 12 triangles.
Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350 degrees F oven
about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
