Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
an iraqi recipe that i came across which seems quite easy and a good way to use up any leftover khajoor from ramzaan!!!
ingredients:
500g plain flour
80g caster sugar
250g unsalted butter, cubed
3 tsp rosewater
60ml water
250g stoned dates
2 tbsp butter
method:
1. preheat oven to gas mark 4/ 180C.
2. make the pastry by rubbing the butter into the flour and sugar.
3. add the rosewater, water and mix to make a firm dough.
4. wrap the dough in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge.
5. chop the stoned dates and saute in the butter.
6. when the dates are cool, take some of the pastry dough and make a round ball the size of large walnut. flatten in the hands, add some cooled dates and fold over into a small crescent. prick the edges.
7. bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
