This was my playmate's mother's recipe Oh how I loved this date loaf! (Doris Eppinger -neeAllen). After school if we were lucky we'd get a slice. I hope it tastes as good now as it did 63 years ago. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup white sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
1 cup chopped dates |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup nuts (walnuts,hazel, pecans your choice) |
1 cup boiling water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350F, lightly grease a loaf pan.
2. Mix the dates, butter& boiling water, set aside& cool.
3. When cooled mix in the beaten egg& sugar.
4. Mix the flour, baking soda& salt together.
5. Add dry ingredients to the batter.
6. Add nuts and vanilla, blend well.
7. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Bake in 350F oven for 50-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center.
