Directions:
- For dough: Beat butter at medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Add the 1/4 cup of sugar and beat 2 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup honey, vanilla, and egg, beating until well blended.
- In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Divide the dough in half, and gently press each half of dough into a square on plastic wrap. Cover with additional plastic wrap and chill for 8 hours.
- Filling:.
- Preheat oven to 375°F Coat a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place dates and orange rind in a food processor, and process until all are minced.
- Combine boiling water, 2 tbs sugar and 2 tbs honey, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in fresh orange juice.
- With processor on, slowly add orange juice mixture to date mixture through the food chute. Process until well blended, scraping sides occasionally; set aside.
- Working with one portion of dough at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), roll each portion to a 9-inch square on a heavily floured surface. Fit one portion into the bottom of the baking pan.
- Spread date mixture evenly over the dough in the pan.
- Place the remaining square of dough on top of the date filling.
- Combine the milk and egg yolk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Brush milk mixture over top of dough.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden. Cool 30 minutes on wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely.
- After the bars have cooled completely, transfer to a flat surface or sturdy cutting board and use a sharp, heavy knife to cut into pieces.
