cookie time!
Mar. 7th, 2012 11:53 amPurim is tomorrow, so it's time for my semi-annual posting of my great-grandmother's hamentaschen recipe. They are the yummiest. You should make some.
Ingrediaents:
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine (Crisco if you want ’em pareve)
1 egg
2 T orange juice
Filling of choice– poppyseed, prune, blueberry or cherry pie filling, various jams, chocolate, Nutella. I really like them filled with apples, chopped up fine and mixed with a little honey and a lot of cinnamon.
Directions:
Mix sugar, flour, BP, salt in bowl; work in softened (NOT melted) butter
separate bowl– mix egg and OJ, then add to rest of ingredients; mix until it’s dough.
Refrigerate 1 hour.
Roll out, cut into circles– use a cookie cutter or a large drinking glass for this. Place large spoonful of filling in center of each circle, and pinch dough into a triangle around it. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
Cookies will be crisp when they first come out of the oven, but seal them in Tupperware for the night and they will get soft and ridiculously delicious.
Enjoy!
