Many of you have called our office asking for a recipe for Hamantashen.
Here's one you might enjoy.  It comes from the "Gluten-Free Pantry Companion
Cookbook."

Hamantashen

1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups vegetable shortening or margarine
2 eggs
6 Tbs. water
1/2  tsp. Gluten-free vanilla
4 cups Gluten-Free Pantry French Bread & Pizza Mix (#40) or other
all-purpose gluten-free baking mix (that contains xanthan or guar gum)
1 cup of your favorite jam or prune butter

Cream sugar and shortening.  Add eggs and beat until smooth.  Stir in water
and vanilla and add mix.  Beat until dough forms a ball.  Chill 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Use a rolling pin to roll dough to about 1/4
inch thickness.  Turn a glass upside down or use a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter
and cut dough into circles.  Fill each circle with a teaspoon of the jam or
prune butter.  Pinch corners of dough together to form a triangle.  Put the
hamantashen on a well greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes or until
golden brown.  Makes 24 large or 40 small hamantashen.

Happy Purim!
