These nicely textured bars are delicious. It's a good recipe for today's diet awareness, because there's no shortening used. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1868, made these bars, and the recipe has come down through the generations. Now my children are making them. -Marilyn Reid, Cherry Creek, New York Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped dates |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
3 eggs, beaten |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares. Yield: 16 servings.
