Recipe came from my husband's grandmother. They are much easier to make than they sound. I have halved the recipe successfully; and I have used jam instead of the cooked dates although nothing beats the original recipe. Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar (can substitute splenda) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup milk |
2 cups oats |
2 cups flour |
1 lb dates, chopped |
1/2 cup sugar (or even a little less (can substitute splenda) |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Cook the dates in sugar and water, until tender. Cool before using.
2. Blend shortening and sugar, and then add remaining ingredients.
3. Roll out thin on a floured surface, cutting into circles.
4. Place filling on bottom circle, top with a second circle, and seal edges.
5. Bake until brown at 350 degrees - about 10 minutes, depending on the size of your circles.
