I have a friend who is a Methodist Minister and, a couple of days ago he gave me a recipe for some date and oat slices which I really felt I had to share with you - they are sooo scrummy! Here goes:
1 beaker of oats 1 beaker of S.R. flour 3/4 beaker of brown sugar 4oz soft margarine 1/2 teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda 375gr (2 oval boxes) of dates (de-stoned and chopped)
(I used a tall mug for the beaker and a small mug for the water!)
Method
1. Put the dates and cup of water in a saucepan and heat on low. (Just to really moisten the dates without drowning them!).
2. Meanwhile put all the other ingredients into a bowl and fork in the margarine.
3. Put a good half of the oat mixture into a 7" x 11" greased tin. Spread on the dates. Cover with the rest of the oat mixture.Press down gently.
4. Put into a medium oven (I put the oven onto 160) and cook for about 25 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and after 10 minutes cut into slices.
When they were cold, I put mine into the fridge and they tasted really great chilled. Normally recipes always seem to go wrong for me the first time I try them,but this was an absolute success and the whole lot were wolfed in a couple of days!
Do let me know what you think if you decide to give them a go!
