1/2 Cup, butter or margarine

1/2 Cup, brown sugar

1 1/2 Cup, flour

1/4 Tsp, baking soda

1/2 Tsp, sea salt

1 1/4 Cup, rolled oats, any cut 

3 OR 4 Tbsp, water or milk, to mix dough

METHOD FOR FILLING:

  • Then remove from heat ADD BUTTER and let cool completely before using.

METHOD FOR DOUGH:

  • Cream together butter, brown sugar UNTIL FLUFFY, then sift in flour, baking soda and sea salt.
  • Then fold into butter mixture rolled oats, and 4 to 8 tbsp of water or milk, until it forms a dough ball, then place in the fridge to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When filling is cooled and dough is sat, remove from fridge.
  • Flour counter top with a dusting of flour and take dough and start to roll to about 1/8’ or so, then you will need a cookie cutter about 2 or 3 inches or so and cut out all your dough first.
  • When done take 1/2 to 1 tsp of date filling and place on one side of your dough and fold together, use a fork to pinch down the sides or your fingers.
  • Continue doing this until all your DATE TURNOVERS are made, you will need a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place them on the parchments paper leaving a space between each one so they don’t touch.

Bake in a pre-heated oven of 350ºF for 15 minutes or until golden brown or depending on your oven.

Serve HOT or COLD but be careful the filling is hot……ENJOY

Baking Tips: 

  • Having dates cooked in advance and cooled over night in the fridge will speed up making and baking.
  • Leftovers keep in plastic bag or tub to keep fresh longer.

Sometimes a recipe comes across my counter that I have to make and share with all of you, and this was one of them. This recipe was shared with me by a viewer and she remembers this recipe as a child and enjoyed eating them. Plus this recipe is a easy recipe to follow and after you make it you can get your kids or grandkids to help fill them and even roll the dough they would love that. Maybe you are looking for a snack to put in your kids lunch box thats healthy and tasty at the same time, this is it. Plus if your kids don’t like dates put their favourite jam inside or even lemon, the choices is endless.

Look at the date cooking in the boiler, you can control the amount of sugar, the type of sugar you use or no sugar at all. Pitted dates could be a snack on its own but paired with a outer pastry it makes it that much better.
