Date Delights
This old recipe was printed on the back of a bag of McDougalls flour many decades ago. Now, I love anything with dates! Who doesn’t? These little squares are so delicious. The original used marg, as you can imagine.
You will need an approx 2” high square tin, about 10” x 7”, well buttered and line the base. pre heat your fan oven to 160C
4 oz softened butter
4 oz demerera sugar
2 eggs, beaten
4 oz chopped dates
4 oz plain flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 small teaspoonful vanilla extract
Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs, dates, vanilla and flour and beat until well combined.
Spread the mixture over your prepared tin and level off.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Leave in the tin to cool for a short while, then cut into 16 squares. [I turned it upside down between two racks to take it out]
Yum yum. Very simple easy baking at its best
