Hamentaschen Recipe for Purim !
Hamentaschen, a traditional Purim delight, is a three-cornered pastry filled
with mohn (poppy seed) or other sweet filling.
The ingredients are as follows:
Mix sugar, oil and margarine. Add eggs and juice and mix well. Blend with dry
ingredients and roll into a ball. Divide into four parts. Roll out each piece
very thin (approximately 1/8 inch) on a floured board. With the rim of a cup or
glass (depending on desired size) cut into the dough to make circles.
Place 1/2 to 2/3 teaspoon of filling in the middle of each circle. To shape
into triangle, lift up right and left sides, leaving the bottom side down, and
bring both sides to meet at center, above the filling. Lift bottom side up to
center to meet other two sides. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush dough with
beaten egg before baking. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for
approximately 20 minutes.
Yields 4 dozen Hamentaschen.
