My grandma loved dates. She use to eat them like candy and she cooked with them often. Here is her recipe for Date Bars. It is a cross between a cookie and brownie.
She had the best sayings. Here is one for today: "Every day is a good day above ground."
GGs Date Bars:
3/4 c lard
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c sugar
1 egg
3 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/2 t soda
1 c buttermilk
1 c chopped dates
1/4 c chopped walnuts (optional)
Cream sugars, egg and lard together in a large bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients and buttermilk. Mix well. Fold in dates and walnuts. Pour into a greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
