Preparation time : 30 Min
Cooking time : 10 Min
Level of difficulty : Low
Ingredients
6 servings
- 2 lbs (950 gr) fresh and very ripe dates
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
Preparation
- Carefully stone the dates by lifting the stem from the fruit and gently pulling it out - this method will leave the fruit intact.
- Rinse the dates if desired then arrange in circles on a small plate and put aside.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan until it begins to bubble and carefully add the flour a little at a time until the mixture gets gold, neither too thick nor too thin. Once the colour is a deep gold, sprinkle in cinnamon and cardamom and mix thoroughly.
- Remove from heat and drizzle the mixture over the dates. Leave to cool and set.
