Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are delicious triangular-shaped pastries usually filled with sweet fillings such as fruit jam, poppy seed paste, or chocolate. They are traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Purim.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Your choice of filling:
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and butter, and mix until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles.
- Place a small spoonful of your chosen filling in the center of each circle.
- To shape the Hamantaschen, fold the edges of the circle towards the center to form a triangle, leaving some of the filling exposed.
- Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the Hamantaschen cool before serving and enjoy!
