Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift first 5 ingredients together in a bowl. Combine
1/4 cup flour mixture with chopped dates and nuts in another bowl. Combine
butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until
light
and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Add almond extract and beat another 2-3 minutes. Add dry ingredients
alternately with milk, beating after each addition. Fold in date and nut
mixture by hand. Spoon into 4 well-greased mini-loaf bread pans (6x3 inch)
and bake 25-30 minutes until a tester comes out clean when inserted in
center. |
