Got a Date?

One thing I have been doing instead of blogging of late has been to trawl through my trove of collected recipes and offer goodies to my family.

This is the most easy to do date loaf in the world, I swear!!!

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• I cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon bi-carbonate of soda
• 6 oz chopped dates
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 egg

Method

• Put water, sugar, butter, bicarb and dates into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
• Beat in flour and egg
• Cook in a loaf pan in a moderate oven for 45 minutes
• Eat and enjoy

How easy was that?
