With Purim a week away, Piper decided it was Hamantaschen time! Piper has quite the history of making this traditional triangular cookie, as can be seen here in her exclusive music/cooking video:
Recipe:
4 Cups Flour
4tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Salt
2 Sticks Butter
2 Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
4 Tbsp Milk
2 tsp Vanilla
Filling: Nutella; Chocolate Chips and Raspberry Jam are our favorite!
Mix Dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, milk and vanilla to butter mixture. Slowly add dry ingredients, blend. Refrigerate at least two hours. Roll out 1/4 in thickness on floured surface, cut into 2″-2 1/2″ circles. Put 1 tsp of the filling in the middle of the dough circle, fold 3 sides over to make a triangle. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
Love this video-can’t believe it’s Purim time. Seems you were just celebrating the Chinese New Year. Is the new batch ready for eating?
Awesome! Tovi loved the video and I loved the juxtaposition of the Hamantaschen pics / video and the pig on the spit on the top of your blog site!
My opinion: stick to the nutella. I want some!!!! I wish we could post the parody video that we did but I don’t know how.
Send me the parody – I’ll post it!
