Method

1. In a bowl, put the dates ground in a blender with the butter and mix well
2. Shape the date filling into small finger-sized logs and set aside
3. Begin preparing the dough: in a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, butter, and vanilla, and mix
4. Pour the milk gradually and knead to obtain a cohesive dough
5. Shape the dough into finger-sized logs
6. Make a cavity in each dough log and place a piece of date inside
7. 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
8. Arrange the logs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
9. Place the tray in the oven at 175°C until the date croissants turn golden on the bottom
10. 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
11. Let the croissants cool
12. Dust the date croissants with powdered sugar when serving
