I realized I've made a similar recipe found on the food.com site. I infused the cinnamon<br/>with the butter and reduced the flour to make the sauce more pourable. If you use<br/>the full amount of flour it makes the sauce taste too grainy in my opinion. I tested with medjool dates. For color when taking the photo, I added a light garnish of fresh orange zest. Easy, pretty and delicious! Thanks for posting the recipe. Made for Welcome to Qatar!

We love this, DD1 (5 years old) DD2 (18 nmonths) and I. ! I made ours gluten free using a store bought gluten free flour mix, Al-Madina dates (Saudi), clarified organic sea salted butter, fake cinnamon (powdered cassia bark), and to top it off our healthy selves can`t stand any of that corn starch powdered sugar so we added none! Made for Welcome to Qatar! May 2013.

This was delicious & very easy. I was surprised how much 10x I could add without it being to sweet. It was delicious! Dh thought it would be good over ice cream but the sauce hardened & cracked. He thinks it would work better over ice cream if the dates were chopped first. I agree with reducing the flour to make the sauce less grainy. Made for Welcome to Qatar!
