    Re: Heinz Cereal Bars
    

So here is what I have come up with - felt like Heston trying to make these look like the Heinz bars!!  

Pastry
125g butter
50g sugar
1 egg
260g flour
2 tsp baking powder
a little milk
Filling
500g dates
60g water
juice 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp syrup
40g flour
Put fruit, water, lemon juice, cornflour and syrup into bowl 100C 5min sp 2-3 (add extra water if starts to stick)
Put aside to cool.
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well.
Add flour and bring together at sp 4
Add a little milk and   30 sec will come together into a ball of pastry.
Divide Pastry into 3 and roll into long sauge shape and flaten out.
Spread filling down middle of pastry.
Fold pastry in to form 'sausage roll' shape
Brush with milk and bake in 180C for 30 mins.
(Look at photos to get the idea of what I mean.  )

Hello NayNay, what sort of syrup did you use for this bars?
Thank you.

There's more information here about the recipe. I didn't use any syrup as I felt the dates I used were sweet enough.

[Denzelmum]

Thanks, Cookie...  so it's golden syrup or maple syrup.  On my to try list.

[Nay-nay]

Yeah - golden syrup but if using dates you don't need it - I'd only use it with sultanas.
