Date And Walnut Slice Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.
• Grease a lamington pan.
• Cream butter, sugar and eggs.
• Blend in other ingredients.
• Press mixture into pan and bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool and ice if desired.
• Slice into 12 portions.

Steps:

• Grease 2 - 8cm round x 17cm long nut roll tins. If you do not have nut roll tins you can use a bar loaf tin and cover it tightly in foil- the result is not as quite as good.
• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F ).
• Combine the date, butter, sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar and butter have melted. Bring to boiling point and then remove from the heat.
• Allow the mixture to cool.
• Stir the sifted bicarbonate soda, sifted flour, egg and nuts into the cooled date mixture.
• Spoon the mixture into the greased tins. Replace the lids tightly and bake upright in a moderate oven for 40 minutes.
• Stand rolls ten minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool.
• Serve sliced with butter.
• Suitable to slice and freeze.
• As a variation you can use pecan nuts or macadamias in place of the walnuts.
