This is mummy's recipe from her small red exercise book. Where it came from I have no idea, but it is a great recipe, really moist and with a strong flavour of dates, and the lovely crunchiness of walnuts.
Ingredients
125 grams butter
100 grams dates
50 grams walnuts
100 grams sugar
100 grams maida
2 eggs
Method
Chop walnuts.
Soak dates in a little warm water with a pinch of soda bicarbonate powder.
Cream butter sugar together.
Add egg yolks one at a time and beat well.
Sift the flour with 1/4 teaspoon of soda bicarbonate , and fold in gently.
Add the chopped walnuts and then the dates.
Fold in the egg whites. Bake
