Date Gems
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 egg
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 4 tsps baking powder
Stone the dates and chop coarsely. Sift together the salt, flour and baking powder. Rub the shortening into the flour. Mix in the dates and form to a stiff batter with the beaten egg and milk. Bake in hot, well greased gem pans in a oven heated to 350F at 350°F for about 20 minutes (be patient, you rascal).
