soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
2. Cut in the butter. (Or combine in a food processor, just until
crumbly.) 3. Add the egg, buttermilk and dates; do not overmix. (If the
dough seems too sticky to work with add a couple more tablespoons flour.)

preheated 350-degree oven about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
