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 35-degree oven about 25 minutes.
Cool on a rack.
