Date Scones

Jogreen's Note:

These are good for a low point treat as they are only 2points each if you are following a Weight Watcher plan. Just remember to include points for anything you may spread on them. I like them fresh from the oven 'as is' :)

just made these - and they are great for a low fat treat! I love date scones but since joining weight watchers in Jan have avoided baking. Now i can make these for me and other more fattening things for hubby and kids and not feel as if i'm missing out! THANKS

These deserve the 5* for ease of making and being low in fat and sugar. A great "allowable" treat for me with a hot cuppa on a cold winters afternoon :) Thanks Jo :)
