Hamantaschen made easy! Quantity 24 <\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hamantaschen is t the symbol of Purim, but how did it get its name Mohntaschen, or \"poppy seed pockets,\" were a popular German pastry dating from medieval times. Around the late 1500s, German Jews dubbed them Hamantaschen, or \"Haman's pockets.\"<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

 The play on words likely references the rumour that the evil Haman's pockets were filled with bribe money ,other say its named for the 3 cornered hat he wore .<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are many recipes and nowadays many fillings, personally I am not so fond of the traditional poppy seed filling, and these are a lighter alternative.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you are gluten free you can use gluten free self-raising flour, but be aware that the dough could be a bit crumblier.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I make & cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate it overnight, its easier to handle when making.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I use baking cups for measuring for this recipe.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 3 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup granulated sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00be cup vegetable oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup orange juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 \u00bd teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 5 \u00bd cups Self Raising flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup whole fruit jam any flavour or chocolate spread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u00a0To make the dough<\/strong>:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into batter to form a stiff dough, adding more flour if needed. Cover with cling film and put in fridge preferably overnight but at least for an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then  make the hamantaschen <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cover your balking trays with baking paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 1\/2-inch thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass; place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of jam or chocolate spread in the centre of each circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pinch edges to form three corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Store in an airtight tin for up to one week or freeze and defrost as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
