Start with the dough by adding flour and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and pulse a few times until it looks like small peas.
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 no 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. At this point, place the hamantaschen on a plate or baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
Bake the hamantaschen for 15-17 minutes or until the 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.

French Hamantaschen
Drizzle a sauté pan with oil over medium heat and add sliced onions. Cook onions until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and continue sautéing until mushrooms are cooked and lightly caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, Herbes de Provence.
Fill hamantaschen with mixture and bake. After baking, top with crumbled goat cheese.
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.
Place unbaked hamantaschen in the freezer for 20 minutes before baking. This will help the triangles stay in tact.
Don't overfill, which can cause the filling to pour out.
