Making Hamentashin

Chodesh Tov!  As we get ready for Purim in the Art Room I can't help but think of my favorite Hamentashin recipe. It's very simple and delicious.  I can't wait to whip up a batch this weekend!

If you would like to make some here is the recipe.

You Will Need: 

1 & 1/4 cup of Flour

1/4 cup of White Sugar

1/4 cup of Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp.Baking Powder

1/2 cup of oil

1 egg

Desired filling ( I use raspberry jelly)

1.  Sift the flour with the sugars and baking powder using a whisk.

2.  Add the oil and egg and mix thoroughly  with hands until dough is pliable.

3.  On a floured surface roll out the dough using a rolling pin until it's about an eighth of an inch flat.

4.  Use a round cookie cutter and cut the dough int circles.

5.  Place circles onto a greased cookie sheet and place a  tsp. of filling into the center of each circle. 

6.  Pinch the cookies into the hamentashen shape.  (If you're not sure how to do that here is a video link to show you how https://youtu.be/m6z18uS4hgA)

7.  Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 375 degrees.

8.  Enjoy ... and stay tuned for an awesome video about how we celebrate Purim in the art room.
