Date Nut PuddingThis is a celebrated family tradition served during the holidays or anytime! It’s not really a true pudding per se. It’s more like squares with a gooey rich texture. It’s good as a dessert, but we serve it with the meal. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 3 beaten eggs
- 1 Cup sugar
- ¼ Cup flour
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Cup dates ( pitted and cut into small pieces w/ scissors or knife)
- 1 Cup chopped nuts, walnuts preferred (pecans work also)
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar with hand mixer until light.
- Add sifted dry ingredients just until blended.
- Stir in dates and nuts.
- Turn into greased 8-inch square glass or metal pan and bake in a larger pan of hot water.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until lightly browned on top. If necessary, put foil loosely on top near the end to keep from darkening too much.
- Cut in squares and flip upside down so sticky side is on top. Serve warm with whipped cream on top.
Notes:
You can’t really test it for doneness. A slight crust forms on the top and it’s gooey like bars on the bottom. Sometimes the crust cracks and that’s okay.
For a larger group, double the recipe and put in a 9 x 13 pan. Bake the same.
