Date and Almond chewy squares

Date and Almond chewy squares

• 4oz plain flour 
• 2 oz self raising flour
• 3 oz ground almonds / dessicated coconut
• 6oz stoned dates, chopped (or if you have not got enough sultanas to make up the difference)
• 6oz sugar – I used dark muscovada 
• 3oz butter 
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• 1 egg, beaten

Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup. Stir the dry ingredients together then add the hot butter mixture and the egg. Mix everything well and then spread out in a lined 9″x11″ (23cmx28cm) tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180ºC (Gas 4, Fan 170ºC). I baked it in a 10" square tin

When cooled a little, cut into slices / squares.
