Directions
Date and Walnut Rolls,This recipe has been adapted from an Australian Women’s Weekly Recipe. It makes two rolls. It keeps for a month or so if wrapped in plastic cling wrap and placed it in the freezer. You can slice it and freeze in single serves to take in your lunch box. Can substitute pecans for the walnuts or leave them out all together (just add in some extra dates instead). I also make a gluten-free version of this recipe see recipe#218329,Love this recipe – brings back great memories. Easy to use for school snacks as it freezes so well.,As my mom did when she baked certain of her holiday puddings & brown bread, used heavy duty foil & several can to fashion cooking containers for these rolls & they worked well enough for me! Enjoyed making these as they were something a bit unusual for myself & my neighbors! Very much enjoyed topped with an apricot sauce (or with a raisin sauce that I’d recently made)!
