Hamantaschen - The finished product and recipe review


Purim Hamantaschen 2013


The Husband is much better rolling the dough out than I am - I'm impatient. He is also better with the technique of folding these little hats - so from now on, I am giving him this chore project to do since he enjoys it so much.





 The dough can be hard to work with at first - you have to really pound it out. 
But it doesn't take long for it to comply.


Buttery Hamantaschen has a buttery taste with just a hint of orange zest. 

I liked the texture of this recipe. This is a keeper!



Ready to fold - which is a technique unto itself. I tend to add too much apricot filling. This filling is much better than using apricot preserves which run out of the cookie part when baking.


Lekvar Apricot Butter Filling - is delish. The recipe makes enough for 2 dough recipes. I have a lot leftover that I won't throw out -



 Those yellow flecks are the orange zest added to the dough - yummy!




 The folding process looks easy until you do it.  The Husband does a good job!


  

A good-looking pre-cooked, perfectly folded hamantaschen.




350 degrees at around 20 minutes - I need a new oven so I really had to watch them. They could have been a bit more golden brown on top - I was afraid I would burn the bottom. I have an oven thermometer in the oven and my oven was off by 25 degrees and more!  Next year - A NEW stove and OVEN!!! (Lord willing) 



Ta Dah!  The finished product!  

These are soooooooooo good. Great with a cup of coffee or tea.

for such a time as this?"
