Anyone who likes dates will enjoy this rich date dessert. The recipe, which came out of my mother's cookbook, is our favorite dessert for Thanksgiving, Christmas...even New Year's gatherings. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup chopped dates |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup milk |
2 cups water |
whipped cream or ice cream |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; add dates and nuts. Add flour mixture alternately with milk to creamed mixture; set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine water with remaining brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil; boil 5 minutes. Pour into a 9-in. round baking pan. Spoon batter on top of sauce. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream. Yield: 6-8 servings.
