    List of Ingredients




    1 cup sourdough starter
    1 egg -- beaten
    1/2 cup butter -- softened
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    3/4 cup dark molasses
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/3 cups unbleached white flour
    1/2 cup chopped dates
    2 tablespoons flour

    Recipe



    1. In a large bowl allow the starter to warm up and become active. It should stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.

    2. Then add the beaten egg, softened butter, brown sugar and molasses. Beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Next, put in the salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Sift in the flour. Beat the batter until it is lump-free.

    3. Roll the chopped dates in the 2 tablespoons of flour or mix them with the flour in a bowl so they do not stick together. Gently stir them into the beaten batter.

    4. Pour the batter into a well greased 9-inch square pan and bake in a preheated 375F oven for about 30 minutes or until the batter tests done when poked with a toothpick.

    5. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into bars, then finish cooling on wire racks and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

    NOTE: Like most sourdough products, these bars taste much better cold than they do while still warm from the oven.
