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!
