    Hamantaschen for Purim

    For Purim, many of us make the traditional sweet Hamantaschen, think of it as a triangle shaped thumbprint cookie. But really, anything triangle shaped, which represents the hat that Haman wore.

    But what Purim is really meant for...the party! And what better way then making your own hamantaschen bar at home with all sorts of fun filling ideas.

      Instructions

      • In another small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and
      • water and add this to flour mixture and blend until dough forms into a ball.
      • Using very floured hands, form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes and Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
      • Once dough is ready, cut dough in half and roll out to about 9 inches in diameter or about ¼ inch thickness.
      • Use a 3 inch round cookie cutter and cut out circles. Any leftover dough can be rolled out again to cut out more circles.
      • Fill each circle with more more than ½-3/4 teaspoon filling each, leaving a border so they are not overfilled.
      • Once filled, pinch the three corners around the hamantaschen very well and place hamantaschen on baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes or until dough is lightly golden brown.

      Everything Bagel Hamantaschen

      • In a small bowl, mix the smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers and fill hamantaschen with ½ teaspoon of filling. Once filled and sealed, sprinkle everything bagel spice on the outside of the hamantaschen.

      • Mix chopped spinach and feta cheese together and fill hamantaschen. Top with pine nuts.

      • Fill hamantaschen with mixture and bake. After baking, top with crumbled goat cheese.

      Mexican Hamantaschen

      • Fill with a teaspoon of refried beens and top with cheddar cheese and bake. Once done baking, top with guacamole and salsa.

      Notes

      Filling measurements are not exact, depending on how many hamantaschen you'll be making. 
      Be sure to pinch the dough very well to prevent seams opening. 
      Don't overfill, which can cause the filling to pour out.
