I've done this 3 times now, first ones were amazing, then the second two seemed to only create about half the dough, and that dough was really really wet and sticky. First time I added more flour but they came out quite dry. The third ones I left it really loose/sticky and they came out ok, but was too loose to really use the cutter to shape them. Really frustrated that I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong after the first success.

The scones were 10/10, the spiced butter is nice but i think i might have added too much of the whipped cream? amounts for the cream+sugar+vanilla would be helpful

Very good
I made this for morning tea and I made 4 batches so I could eat lots. Beaut. It was gone in a few hours.

The method is a bit vague.. def read it thoroughly first before aimlessly following the method as I did. I got to the end and realised I hadn't added the soaked dates as the method doesn't exactly specify to add them, it just says mix wet ingredients (I thought that referred to the milk and egg) also I added the yolk to my wet mix and didn't realise further on it was meant to be kept aside for brushing on the scones before baking. Duh! Oops. Chucked it all in the cake mixer on low with dough hook to incorporate dates which worked fine but noticed I needed much more flour to get it to roll out (it as very wet once I added the just soaked dates to the already mixed wet and dry mixture)
