1 1/2 C. flour
1/2 C. sugar
1 tea. baking soda
1/4 tea. salt
1 (12 oz.) pkg. pitted dates, coarsely snipped with scissors
4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 C. orange juice, warmed
2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract or flavoring
3/4 C. walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 C. brown sugar
1 1/2 C. boiling water

Set the oven at 350 degrees F. Have on hand a deep 9-in. baking dish.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, combine the dates, butter, and orange juice. Mix in the Grand Marnier, vanilla, and walnuts. Add the date mixture to the flour and stir just until smooth. Spread the batter in the bottom of the dish, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.

In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture over the date batter.

Transfer the dish to the hot oven and bake the pudding for 45 min. or until the top is set. Spoon the pudding into each of 4 shallow bowls and serve warm with ice cream.

Serves 4.
