--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
