Some really horrible nut-pear spread combination. Or other jams. I find the prune stuff moister. And the "mohn" filling is for my husband and in honor of tradition.

does anybody feel that it's important to include hamantaschen in the mishloach manos because it's traditional?
Laffy Taffy and Glick are hip, but what about tradition? |
I find it very important! That's why I have been making them. I really think it's important to make the traditional things our great-grandmothers made. New is fine, but old is our connection to previous generations.

Here's my recipe (giving credit where it's due.) This makes a ton of hamentaschen, but I usually make 1/3 recipe. The dough is very easy to work with, but I don't guarantee that it will stay pinched!
Mrs. Shuchat's Hamentasch Dough
4 sticks margarine
1 ½ c. sugar
3 eggs
pinch salt
1 tsp. baking powder
¾ c. orange juice
7 c. flour
2 vanilla sugar
Cream margarine and sugar, add eggs and juice, then rest of ingredients.

Try using oil instead of margarine.
Has anybody ever tried making no sugar whole wheat flour hamentashen?

Years ago I tried making low-fat hamentashen. We called them "hamensquishin" because they totally spread out and were unrecognizable. I think my husband ate some but I would never give them away. One of those things I think you just have to make with lots of fat, although 4 sticks seems a lot.

You have hurt me to the core, but I will overlook it.
Cookie dough needs fat - that's what makes it crisp. Oil is not the same, Yehudis. It will make the dough tough rather than crisp.
BTW, if you choose to disregard what I just wrote and use oil, don't forget to use only 2/3 the amount of oil as margarine.

sarad do your hamantashen come out with a dough that is like cookie dough? The bakeries make such good hamantashen that are soft and cookie doughish. I am looking for a recipe like that bec there are no bakeries here. Mine come out ok, but not like the heavinly ones from the bakery.

Well, they're more like crisp, except for the part under the filling, which is soft.

I make the recipe from the spice and spirit, "traditional hamentashen"
and it comes out delicious every year! the dough tastes like a solid cookie, which is what I like. not soft and mushy and crumbly, (cant stand that)
here is the recipe for those who are interested:
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
4-5 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
makes 4 dozen according to the recipe, but I usually make about 80 small ones with it.
and not so fattening either!!!

I don't make hamantaschen, but last year I baked my challos in the shape of hamentaschen, with poppy seed as the filling.

?????? To the best of my knowledge, coconut oil is saturated fat, and very unhealthy.
