    Great recipe! My tasters loved them on the two occasions that I prepared them. Your recipe is so easy to follow and your video made it a lot easier. I just have a question.. I used 2 sticks of butter. It turned out too oily for me. Any idea how I can reduce that butter without compromising the taste? More power to you Vanjo!

      Ems, using 1 1/2 sticks of butter should do the trick; it won’t jeopardize the quality of the dish but it will make it less oily.

      Not really. You can use regular pitted dates.
