Date and Nut Bars
(40 bars)
1 cup pecans or walnuts
½ cup dates
¾ cup flour
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
¾ tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease, line with paper and grease again a 10x10-inch pan.
Chop nuts coarsely. Pit dates and chop. Add 1 tbsp of flour and mix with fingers until dates are coated and mixed with nuts. Set aside.
Beat eggs, add sugar gradually and beat until fluffy.
Sift together remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture and stir until well mixed. Stir nuts and dates into the batter.
Spread in the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until cake rebounds to the touch when pressed gently in the center. Cool slightly, turn out of pan and cut into bars 1 x 2-½ inches.
