Dates and Dry Fruits Irish Scones | Egg-less breakfast scones with Dates and Dry Fruits

Scones are mildly sweetened breakfast cakes/breads. It is usually made with eggs. However an eggless version would be loved by all and everybody can follow the recipe hence I tried an eggless version. Even since I saw the video in Gemma’s Channel I was so eager to make the Scones. So today I made use of the chance.

Scones are very mildly sweetened so I added dates, dry fruits and chocolate to make it a hit recipe. Indeed my daughter loved it J so it is a toddler approved recipe. Now let’s get started.
