Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground anise (you can buy star anise and grind down yourself)
1/4 tsp ground fennel seed (if you can only find whole, grind down yourself)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
canola oil spray
150-160g of pitted dates
1 1/2 tsp of the spice mix
1/2 tsp almond essence
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup (115g) butter, room temperature
1/4 cup water
icing sugar for dusting
a round bottom tray. You can find them on Amazon under 'mince pie pan' http://amzn.to/2jWIfQD or in Australia you'll find them in most grocery stores/ kitchen stores as 'patty pans'

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 175C/350F.
  • Mix together the spice mix and place in a air tight container. You'll only be using a bit of this mix for this recipe.
  • Spray the food processor with the canola oil so the dates don't stick.
  • In batches, heat up the dates (in a small microwavable bowl) in the microwave for 10-15 secs to soften.
  • Place in the food processor and blend, then repeat with the rest.
  • By hand, mix the 1 1/2 tsp of spice mix and 1/2 tsp of almond essence into the date mixture.
  • Set aside.
  • In a mixer, beat the butter, then add in the sugar.
  • Beat for a few minutes until creamy.
  • Add in the flour, then the water.
  • Turn out onto a board dusted with plain flour.
  • Roll out relatively thinly, and cut out circles.
  • Spray your cookie tray with canola oil spray.
  • Place one circle into a cookie hole.
  • Take a small ball of the date mixture, and press with your fingers into a flattened circle.
  • Place into the cookie tray on top of the dough.
  • Place another cookie dough circle on top.
  • Press the middle down, then press the edges together.
  • Repeat, then place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, use the back of a large spoon to gently press the centres (to keep the indentation), then set aside to cool.
  • Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any baking recipe, it's important to have all of your ingredients and equipment ready before you start. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cakes will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The oven temperature is critical for the success of your cakes. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't Open the Oven Door: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cakes to fall. Resist the temptation to peek!
  • Let the Cakes Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate your cakes, let them cool completely. This will help them to hold their shape.
