Kahlúa, the king of coffee liqueurs, gives a glisten to this date-nut filling that's tucked in flaky triangles. Ingredients:
1/3 cup dark corn syrup |
2 teaspoons butter or margarine, melted |
1 1/2 teaspoons kahlúa or other coffee-flavored liqueur or strong brewed coffee |
dash of salt |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 (8-ounce) package chopped dates (1 1/3 cups) |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon water |
1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed |
1 tablespoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients; stir well. Add half of beaten egg; stir well. Stir in dates and pecans. Combine remaining half of egg with 1 teaspoon water; set aside.
2. Roll each sheet of pastry into a 12 square on a lightly floured surface. Cut each square into 9 (4 ) squares. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon date mixture into center of each square; brush edges of pastry with egg mixture. Fold each square of pastry into a triangle; seal edges with a fork. Brush top of each pastry with remaining egg mixture, and sprinkle with sugar. Place pastries on an ungreased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes or until puffed and golden.
