Our table was filled for hours yesterday with hamantaschen in the process of being made. This year we used a new recipe, that came from a friend (thanks, RM!), and my kids said they think it’s a really good one. I haven’t tasted them myself, but they look beautiful, and I trust my kids on the taste. 🙂
I’m not sure how many this makes, since we made three times the recipe, and I have no idea how many there are. It’s not a small amount. As I said, they were busy with them for hours! I think that just one time the recipe is a good amount to start with.
Yummy Hamantaschen
- 6 eggs
- 1 c. oil
- 2 c. sugar
- 3 t. baking powder
- 6 c. flour (add a little more if it seems too loose to you)
Mix everything together. Roll out dough until thin but not so thin that it breaks when you pick up a piece of it. Using the open side of a glass cup, cut out circles. Put a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle – you can use jam, pie filling, or make your own. (We made lemon pie filling and chocolate, but the chocolate wasn’t a huge success.) Pinch each circle into points on three ends (don’t press too hard or they will break, don’t press too lightly or they’ll come apart when they bake – you’ll get the hang of it), and place onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
