Does anyone on this thread have a simple date bar recipe? I have a bin of dates to cook up.
1/4 tsp salt
1 Cup brown sugar
1 Cup dates
1 Cup chopped nuts
3/4 Cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
Beat eggs and salt togethe. Add to mixed sugar, dates, flour, and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Pour mixture into a utility pan and bake at 300degrees (slow oven) for 40-50 minutes.
Note: These must be set aside for 1 week to soften. Then cut into bars and roll in powdered sugar before serving.
From a very old cookbook. I have not tried the recipe myself.
