Home-Made Hamantashen Recipe - (Back To Purim Info)

You'll Need:

  • 1 cup sugar (scant)
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup shortening (margerine or butter)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 4 cups flour
  • 3 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash


For Filling:

The traditional filling is poppy seeds and raspberry or apricot preserves work well. Chocolate chips or mashed prunes are also good. Another good filling is Musselman's sweet cherries--just drain them first.

Here's How:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a well greased cookie sheet. Cream sugar and shortening then add oil and beat again. Add eggs and OJ and mix well. Sift dry ingredients together in a seperate bowl, add to wet and beat in gently.

HamantashenRoll out and divide in four parts. Put 3/4 teaspoons (or less) of your favorite filling in the center of each round. Raise three sides up and pinch each corner to shape into a triangle with the filling centered in the middle. Make sure the sides are pinched well or else they will separate during baking. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie racks and transfer into container that can be sealed.
