Time 35m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter, cut in 1/2-inch
1 2/3 cups cake flour
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup dates, chopped
1 1/4 cups table cream (18%)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cream, for brushing
sugar, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 12 x 18" (30 x 45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter, both flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor (or use a pastry blender). Process until the mixture is very fine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the pecans and dates. Pour the cream and vanilla over the top. Mix with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Turn onto a work surface. Press the mixture together very lightly - it should be fairly dry. Cut into twelve 2 1/2" rounds (7 cm) or eighteen 1 1/2" rounds (4 cm). Place on the prepared pan. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Serve warm. Best served the day they are made.
