Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (100 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup superfine caster granulated sugar (100 g)
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped (120 g pitted)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (100 g)
- icing sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F / 150°C. Grease a 20 x 30 cm pan (8 x 12-inch) and dust with a little flour. Flouring the greased pan helps the squares from sticking and makes it easier to remove them after baking. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make things easier.TIP: for thicker squares, use a 20 x 20 cm pan and bake 5 minutes longer.
- In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until mixed, then using a sifter or fine mesh sieve, sift the mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric beater until foamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the dates, walnuts and egg to the mixing bowl with the flour. Stir until well combined (you can expect the batter to be very wet and sticky). Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes), then cut into small squares and roll or sprinkle with icing sugar while still warm.
- Enjoy!
