DATES STUFFED WITH MALTED NUTS
Wash, dry, and pit the desired quantity of dates, being careful not to break more than are necessary. Fill the cavity made by removing the pit with malted nuts, and press together. Make an icing of the white of an egg, eight or nine tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, a few drops of lemon juice, and one teaspoonful of corn starch. Dip the dates in this, using a sharp toothpick with which to handle them, and place on an oiled paper or plate to dry. Or the icing may be made with less sugar, and after they are dipped, roll them in powdered or Victor sugar.
