I have high hopes for Purim. I feel like it could be the Jewish cross-over holiday. Like St. Patrick's day, Cinco de Mayo and Mardi Gras. I think we could take Purim to the next level.
I also had high hopes for these Hamentaschen...and the delivered! I used this recipe from Gale Gand as a starting point, substituted Ener-G for the eggs and added a few extra tablespoons of water to get the dough to come together. Come together it did.
After about an hour of chilling in the fridge, I rolled the dough out, used a glass as a cookie cutter and made about 12 little cookies, filled with apricot jam. This was a test run. I have some poppy seed filling and a recipe for homemade apricot filling waiting for this weekend!
I really didn't need to eat four of them to confirm that they were good. But, I think the last time I had a Hamentaschen was in pre-school. So I guess you could say I'm making up for lost time. Now I know this blog post only glossed over the instructions.
So if you need more advice on how to assemble these little cookies, here's some very sage advice from Shalom Sesame !
