Ingredients List
- FILLING:
- 1/2 pound pitted dried plums, chopped
- 1/2 pound pitted dates, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- PASTRY:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
In a saucepan, combine dried plums, dates, water and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in butter. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter as for a pie crust. Blend in egg, cream and vanilla. Form into two balls.
Place one ball at a time on a floured surface and roll to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 2-in. squares. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Make 1-in. slits in corners. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling in the center of each square. Bring every other corner up into center to form a pinwheel and press lightly. Bake at 325° until the points are light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
