I've taken a copy of Nay Nay's conversion of this recipe from Recipe Requests so that it will be easier to find.Check out the original posting
here where Nay Nay has posted photos.
So here is what I have come up with - felt like Heston trying to make these look like the Heinz bars!!
Pastry
125g butter
50g sugar
1 egg
260g flour
2 tsp baking powder
a little milk
Filling
500g dates
60g water
juice 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp syrup
40g flour
Put fruit, water, lemon juice, cornflour and syrup into bowl 100C 5min sp 2-3 (add extra water if starts to stick)
Put aside to cool.
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well.
Add flour and bring together at sp 4
Add a little milk and 30 sec will come together into a ball of pastry.
Divide Pastry into 3 and roll into long sauge shape and flaten out.
Spread filling down middle of pastry.
Fold pastry in to form 'sausage roll' shape
Brush with milk and bake in 180C for 30 mins.
(Look at photos to get the idea of what I mean. )
