Udos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb butter or 1 lb margarine
28 ounces cream of wheat
2 lbs dates
1/3 ounce yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup all-purpose flour

Preparation

Melt butter or margarine and soak cream of wheat in it overnight. Next day, remove lumps. Add flour (approx. 1 cup). Dilute yeast in water and add yeast mixture to cream of wheat mixture. Grind dates and shape into oval patties. (One recipe should yield 40 pastries). Make 40 balls of cream of wheat mixture. Roll each ball in between wax paper with rolling pin. Put date patty at top (fold over) and shape around oval date patty; pinch with 2 fingers to make design while hiding oval date. On top, prick with fork to make a little design before baking. The end result, Udos will be like a half moon.
Bake at 375 degrees for 14 min---brown 1-2 minute under broiler.
