Almond Date pastry

I took some cold medicine and it's making me hyper, so I thought I'd put the energy to good use. I made Almond Date pastry... very easy to make. Recipe below if you want to make it.

Ingredients:
For the pastry: 1.5 cups all purpose flour, 1 egg, 6 tbsp butter.
For the filling: 1/2 c butter, 7 tbsp caster sugar (just ground your regular sugar instead of buying one) 1 egg beaten, 1 cup ground almonds, 2 tbsp plain flour, 2 tbsp orange flower water, 13 fresh dates halved and stoned, 4 tbsp apricot jam

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place a baking sheet in the oven. Work the flour and butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, add egg and tbsp of cold water and work to a smooth dough.
2. Roll out the pastry to cover an 8" tart pan. Prick the base with a fork then chill until needed.
3. To make the filling, cream the butter and sugar until light then beat in the egg. Stir in the ground almonds, flour and 1 tbsp orange water and mix well. ( I didn't have orange water so I used, water and corn syrup instead)
4. Spread the mixture evenly, arrange the dates, cut side down on the almond mixture and bake on the hot baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until light golden.
5. Cool and gently heat the apricot jam and run through the sieve and brush on the pastry. (I haven't brushed this one yet, am too lazy to do it now then take a picture)

Now you don't need the recipe for this one below, in fact, we don't need this at all. But life is too short to worry about pig grease.
