Our guide walks you through making hamantaschen, traditional triangle-shaped cookies for Purim, and even customizing them with different fillings.
The Jewish holiday of Purim is celebrated with drinking, dancing and lots of eating. No Purim festivity is complete without hamantaschen, triangle-shaped cookies baked with different fillings. This not-overly-sweet cookie is one of our favorite Jewish desserts. Learn how to make it here.
Recipe by Mildred Lorence ~ Carlisle, Pennsylvania
-
Ingredients:
- 1 pound dried apricots (2-1/2 cups)
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 3 tablespoons 2% milk
- 1-1/3 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 4 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar, optional
- In a small saucepan, cook apricots and water over low heat for 45 minutes or until the water is absorbed and apricots are soft. Cool slightly; transfer to a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Add sugar; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt shortening with milk. Remove from the heat; stir in sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the saucepan and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until easy to handle.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 teaspoon apricot filling in the center of each. Bring 3 edges together over filling, overlapping slightly (a small portion of filling will show in the center); pinch edges gently. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
