Crank the oven up to 220 degrees Celsius.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
Rub in the butter thoroughly.
Stir in the baking powder.
Add chopped dates and the 'zest' of the whole orange.
Make a well in the middle of the bowl and add the milk.
Mix with a knife.
Spread mix on a board and flatten out to cut shapes.
Place on baking tray and cook for 12 minutes.
So easy to make and delicious. They were all eaten within minutes. Thanks

A variation... While the manderin tree is laden with fruit, I put in the sections from about four or five of these - adds in quite a zing... and a blokes teaspoon of cinnamon goes well also...

Scones not bad... What's your shortbread like?
Good! My wife likes the Choc shortbread too. Steve.
