Directions for Dough

2. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees

3. Bring the dates and water to boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, allow to simmer for 2 minutes and then remove from heat. Stir in baking soda. Set aside.

4. In a mixer, cream butter and sugar together on high until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly add eggs, 1 at a time, then add vanilla. Slowly add the flour and salt. Then slowly add the dates and cooking liquid. Once well-combined, add the baking powder and stir by hand. Pour the batter into the pie crust. Bake for 40 minutes.

5. Once it’s out of the oven, poke holes all over the pie with a dinner fork. Pour ¾ of the glaze over the pie while it’s still warm and allow to absorb for 30 minutes. Reserve remaining glaze and heat just before serving. Drizzle warm glaze over each slice of pie.
