Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C (fan forced). Beat butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy.

Step 3
Add banana, dates and Vanilla Bean Paste to butter mixture and stir lightly.

Step 4
Using a butter knife, stir in flour and baking soda to wet mixture then turn onto a floured board and knead very lightly until mixture just comes together.

Step 5
Shape to a 2.5cm thick rectangle. Cut rounds using a 2.5cm cutter and place on a floured baking tray (you can use baking paper), ensuring scones are sitting close together, but not touching.

Step 6
Brush tops with milk, and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden on top. Serve with maple butter for lunchboxes or jam and cream at home.
