Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. Five Roses all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 1/2 c. Ogilvie quick oats
- 1 1/2 c. Brown sugar
- 1 c. Butter
- 1 lb Dates
- 3/4 c. Warm water
- 1/4 c. Sugar
- 1 pch Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Directions
- Prepare filling first. Combine dates, warm water, sugar and salt together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat till dates are soft and water is absorbed; add in vanilla and let cold. Stir flour and baking soda together; add in to oats and brown sugar and mix well. Work in butter with fork till mix is crumbly. Spread 1/2 the mix in bottom of a greased 9" square pan (for thinner date squares use a larger pan, 9x13") and pat down; cover with cooled date filling. Pat 1/2 of remaining mix on top; then sprinkle over lightly with remainder. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) 20 to 25 min.
- NOTES : I don't know the exact title of the cookbook. It is one of Mom's. In the years since she has had it, it has had the covers, index and possibly a few recipes go missing (it starts on p. 13). It has one of the old spiral bindings where you could fold the book so which only one page showed. You can also tell that recipes were used repeatedly due to the ingredients all over the page. :)
