    Datenut Bread

    From Waterlogged: Here is my grandma's recipe for Datenut Bread...it is the best! I make it every year at Christmas...usually include it in the boxes I send out...

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups chopped dates
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 cup boiling water
    1/4 lb butter
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1 egg
    1 1/2 cup flour
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/2 cup chopped nuts

    Recipe



    Sprinkle 1 tsp baking soda over 2 cups chopped dates. Pour 1 cup boiling water over mixture and set aside to cool.

    While cooling, cream 1/4 lb butter (1 stick) and 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark, whatever is in the house). Beat in 1 egg. Stir in date mixture.

    Add 1 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.

    Pour into lightly greased and floured pans (I've just sprayed mine w/Pam and its fine).

    Bake 45-60 minutes in 325º oven.

    (I usually use the 1 lb foil loaf pans...makes 3 smaller loaves....I have used muffin tins also, just cut back on the cooking time...)
