OK I know this is a long shot, but....last year I made really good Hamentashen. The recipe was from Mishpacha FF - I remember there was a contest, and the recipe was that of one of the winners (we agree with the judges!) IIRC there were 3 winners and this was the 3rd recipe.

I remember I meant to clip the recipe, and then a relative's relative was in the hospital and asked me for my magazines to give to this person for entertainment. I forgot to copy the recipe before giving them.

If anyone clipped those recipes and could scan/post them here, I will be much obliged to you!

TIA!

I can't help, sorry. Yet, I've had really good experience with reaching out to magazines and requesting recipes. I'll be following in the case that you get it or someone else here has it, yum!

I did send a request to Mishpacha but haven't heard from them. Maybe I'll call them.

You can try that with any hamantash recipe, but I'd recommend including some graham cracker in the filling as well, because the dough won't taste like graham cracker.

(FWIW, the letter f is missing from your recipe (but oddly enough not from your post. There's also a space where the f's should be - see the word that should be "fluffy".... If you can figure out how to fix it I'll delete this post))

I used oven-proof raspberry filling. (I think I may also have done apricot last year.) Yum!

I made a few chocolate chip ones for a certain young lady I love who likes it that way. So sure, why not do marshmallows as well? If I do it again I may try it.

(yes, I used zero-transfat margarine for this....I try to avoid using margarine, but once in a while.....)

The dough was delicious, but oh so difficult to work with, it was sooooo soft!!! Did you have that too?

I don't mean to hijack, but does anyone have a tried and true recipe for poppy seed filling? I could use store bought, but I would like to try homemade.
