Preparation
Step 1
Mix ingredients to make a soft, smooth dough. Let it relax at least half an hour.
Step 2
Roll the dough quite thin, less than 1/4 inch. (or roll it a little thicker, and then flatten it when it is cut out)
Cut 3 inch circles (roll it thinner if it needs it, and you want bigger hamantashen)
Step 3
Brush circles with egg wash.
Fill with a tablespoon of filling, more or less
Fold and brush again with egg.
Step 4
Bake on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet at 375° for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
How about cheese and potato filing? Or spinach, or any cooked vegetable?
