SLICE RECIPE
This recipe
will teach you how to make Date Slice. It is a quick and easy
recipe to make. My husband really loves anything with dates
in them so you can imagine his delight when I made my mothers
recipe of Date Slice. It has been passed down our generations
and all our family make it from my daughters to my grandchildren.
Great served with custard or whipped cream.

Ingredients
155g butter
1/3 cup milk
1 Tbs honey
1 egg lightly beaten

Method
Grease a 19cm x 29cm lamington
pan. In a bowl sift the dry ingredients and rub in the butter
then add enough combined honey, egg and milk to make the ingredients
cling together. Knead gently on lightly floured surface until
smooth then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then divide
the dough in half and roll half large enough to cover base
of prepared pan. Spread with the cold filling and cover with
remaining rolled out pastry. Glaze with a little extra milk
and sprinkle with sugar. Bake the Date Slice in a moderately
hot oven for about 20 minutes then let it cool in pan before
cutting.
Filling: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and
cook stirring constantly until mixture is thick and smooth
then cool at room temperature.
Enjoy your freshly made Date
Slice!
