Traditional Hamantaschen

Dough
3 C flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup orange juice

Filling
1 lb levkar
1/2 lb strawberry preserves
1/4 cup chopped nuts, more if you like them
2-3 T honey
handful of white raisins, optional

Mix ingredients for filling and set aside.

Cream your sugar and fat and add your beaten-and-checked-for-blood-spots eggs, oj, and sifted flour.

Knead Add more flour if nec for smooth and soft dough.

Divide dough into 2 parts and wrap in towel, set aside. Roll out first part to about 1/4 inch thickness or less. Cut “rounds”, brush insides with some egg wash (so hamantasch holds together) and place 1/2 tsp filling on each. Repeat until everything is used up.

Note: 1 recipe of filling equals about 1 1/2 recipe dough.

Hi! Just saw your post from 2008 for traditional hamataschen- how long and at what temp. do you bake them at and do you refrigerate the dough?
Thanks!

It doesn't say to fridge the dough ..... and as far as baking, I'd bake at 350 until brown.
