A tribute to Angela Lansbury and her date bread!


Somehow we all forgot that Angela Lansbury was also young one day...


Dear Angela, nice to remember you (also) like this...



P.S. I love your date bread...

Angela Lansbury's Walnut Date Bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 scant cup boiling water
1 cup chopped pitted dates
2/3 cup walnut pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Strawberry cream cheese, optional

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously oil a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and dust with flour.

Place butter, baking soda, boiling water and dates into a heatproof mixing bowl. Let cool. Mix in walnuts, sugar, egg yolk, flour and vanilla extract. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour.

Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan onto rack to cool. Slice and serve with strawberry cream cheese and freshly brewed tea.

Ginger e Betty comecaram bem mais cedo no Cinema... Ginger no início dos anos 30, Betty na metade...

Angela comecou no Cinema em Dorian Grey (ou foi "Luz de gás"?) de 1945...
