With Purim just around the corner, I'm going to start on my Mishloah manot and my Hamentashen. I've been trying different recipes, this is the latest one. I find them all good in their respective ways. Try them and let me know what you think! Here's what you'll need:4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
juice of one lemon
rind of 1 lemon, grated
1 tsp. vanilla extract
5 cups flour
2 tsps. baking powder
1 to 2 tbsp of water if needed
1 pound prepared poppy seed filling
or, 1 pound lekvar (apple or prune butter)
or 1 pound strawberry or apricot preserve
Preheat oven to 350
Grease cookie sheets.
Beat eggs and sugar, then add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
Divide into four parts.
On a floured board roll out each portion to about
1/8-inch thick. Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter cut 3-inch circles. Place 1/2 to 2/3 teaspoon of preferred filling
in the center of each circle.
To
shape into triangle, lift up right and left sides, leaving the bottom down and
bring both side to meet at the center above the filling.
Bring top flap down to the center to meet the two sides.
Pinch edges together.
Place on grease cookie sheet 1 inch apart and bake at 350
degree preheated oven for 20 minutes, till they barely start to become golden.
