Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cup water
- 4 cup Brown Flour
- 50 dates without seeds
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 100 gram melted Butter
- 1 1/2 cup powdered milk
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: sugar, date, butter, and spices. Place them in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, milk powder, baking powder and water.
- Pour the wet mixture from your food processor into the dry mix, stirring with a wooden spoon or balloon whisk for an even consistency.
- Grease your pan and pour the mixture in, preheating your oven to 170ºC. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Once cooled, use a fork to break it into small pieces and add butter or honey if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to use dried dates for the best flavor and texture, as fresh dates tend to be too moist and can make the Hanini soggy.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar as per your liking.
- If you don't have butter on hand, you can replace it with an oil of your choice.
- You can also add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, or cinnamon for additional flavor.
