Shortbread cake with dates and nuts

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Let's do the test.

2. Step 2:

   

   In the bowl of the combine combine flour, powdered sugar, a pinch of salt and sliced butter. Grind everything to the state of crumbs.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add cold milk (it may take a little more or less, add 1 tbsp each) and mix until the state of wet crumbs.

4. Step 4:

   

   We collect the crumbs in a lump and send them to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   For the filling in the combine, mix dates (pitted) and nuts. Grind into a homogeneous mixture. If there is no combine, then cut everything with a knife into small pieces.

6. Step 6:

   

   I had fewer dates and I also added a handful of cranberries and a handful of light raisins.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the crumbs for sprinkling.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix flour, powdered sugar, flakes (I pre-crushed them, but it's not necessary) and butter.

10. Step 9:

    

    Grind into crumbs.

11. Step 10:

    

    Roll out the dough and put it in a mold. Prick with a fork, cover the dough on top with a sheet of paper and pour the load (beans or peas). Bake at 180 C for about 15 minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Remove the paper with the load and bake the cake for another 10-15 minutes until ready.

13. Step 12:

    

    We put the filling on the finished cake (it's easier to do it with wet hands).

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour the crumbs on top.

15. Step 14:

    

    And bake at 180 C for about 15-20 minutes until browned. Let the pie cool completely, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your meal!
