Whip up quick and delicious date biscuits for surprise guests.
Ingredients:
  • 100g butter, chopped
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 250.00 ml pitted dates, chopped
  • 225.00 gm self-raising flour
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and prepare a 3cm deep, 16cm x 25.5cm (base) slab pan by greasing and lining it with baking paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with sugar until smooth and combined, stirring occasionally for about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
  • Combine the egg and dates until well mixed. Gradually sift in the flour over the date mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan, then cut into squares and serve either warm or cold.
