Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Whole-wheat flour
1/4 c Bran
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 t Salt
2 ts Cinnamon
1/4 c Brown sugar
1/2 c Butter, unsalted -- chilled
1 Egg
2/3 c Buttermilk
2/3 c 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 overmix. (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-degree oven about 25 minutes. Cool on a
rack.
