Walnut Date Bread
Many years ago when I was sick, a dear friend stopped with a pot of soup and this beautiful bread. Every cook should have a copy of this traditional quick bread recipe in his or her files.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups chopped dates
- 1-1/2 cups hot water
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Reviews
Moist, dense flavors. I found that the batter was much too wet and reduced the water to 1 cup. I also reduced the sugar to 1 cup as the dates are plenty sweet enough for my taste. For some extra texture try adding a half cup of crushed whole wheat unsweetened cereal ie grape nuts flakes or wheaties.
This recipe is horrible, certainly does not yield two loaves. Baking time is way off, bottom burnt and stuck to pan. I would never make this recipe again.
My husband enjoys these moist tasty loaves. The recipe is easily halved if you only want 1 loaf. I have also frozen the extra loaf with good results.
So easy to make and so wonderful to taste!
