Servings: persons

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. quick cooking oats
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 unbeaten egg
2 1/2 to 3 c. sifted all purpose flour
1 c. dates, cut fine
1 tsp. grated lemon rind
3/4 c. nuts, finely chopped

1
Soften yeast in 1/4 c. warm water. Combine oats, boiling water, shortening, sugar and salt in large mixing bowl. Mix well. Cool to lukewarm. Add egg and softened yeast. Add flour to gradually form a stiff dough.
2
Knead on floured surface until smooth and satiny, 3 to 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl and cover. Let rise in warm place (85u00b0) until light, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Combine finely cut up dates, lemon rind and nuts.
3
Divide dough into three parts. Roll out one part on floured surface to a 12 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Spread a rounded teaspoonful of date mixture along wide end of each wedge. Roll to point, starting with wide end. Place point side down on greased baking sheet, curving ends to form crescent. Repeat with remaining dough. Let rise until light, about 45 minutes.
4
Bake at 400u00b0 for 15 to 18 minutes. While warm, frost with vanilla glaze.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
