INGREDIENTS:
|
2 cps all-purpose flour
1/2 cp packed light brown sugar
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cp cold butter

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven, convection is preferable, regular okay to 325° F.
Have ready nonstick 9" x 5" loaf pan.
To chop whole, pitted dates in the food processor, chill them well
and inspect to make sure that they really do not have any pits.
If by accident one pit gets into the food processor, it can burn
the motor and be the end of your machine. Place the cold dates in
the processor along with 1/2 c flour from the recipe.
Whirl until the dates are finely chopped. Don't over-process, you
don't want paste.
In a large mixing bowl mix remaining flour, baking powder orange
rind and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together oil, honey,
vanilla, eggs and milk.
Gently blend the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold in nuts and
dates.
Scrape into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour until a
toothpick, all the way down into the center of the loaf, comes out
clean.
Cool
completely before slicing and serving.
Original recipe yield: 1 loaf
