Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- Dough
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup or more, as needed, liquid milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 250 grams or 1/4 kilo butter at room temperature
- Filling
- 2 cups pitted dates, ground
- 1 tablespoon butter
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- In a bowl, put the dates ground in a blender with the butter and mix well
- Shape the date filling into small finger-sized logs and set aside
- Begin preparing the dough: in a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, butter, and vanilla, and mix
- Pour the milk gradually and knead to obtain a cohesive dough
- Shape the dough into finger-sized logs
- Make a cavity in each dough log and place a piece of date inside
- Close the dough over itself carefully... Alternatively, roll out the dough, cut it into triangles, place the date on each, and roll the pieces into a crescent shape
- Arrange the logs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Place the tray in the oven at 175°C until the date croissants turn golden on the bottom
- Turn off the bottom heat and switch on the top heat for a few minutes only... we do not want the pastries to brown too much on top
- Let the croissants cool
- Dust the date croissants with powdered sugar when serving
