Dough Ingredients:
| 3 c. flour |
|
½ c. almonds, finely ground |
| 1½ tsp baking powder |
|
¼ tsp salt |
| ½ c. sugar |
|
Zest of one lemon |
| ½ lb. unsalted butter or margarine |
|
1 egg |
| 2 tbsp cold water |
|
1 tbsp lemon juice |
| 1 egg white, beaten |
|
|
Poppy Seed Filling Ingredients:
| 4 oz. poppy seeds |
|
½ c. milk |
| 1 tbs unsalted butter or margarine |
|
¼ c. seedless raisins, plumped |
| ¼ c. toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds |
|
1 tbsp honey |
| ½ tsp vanilla extract |
|
|
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl & blend thoroughly. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine the flour, almonds, baking powder, salt, sugar, & lemon zest. Blend or cut in the butter until the mixture resembles very fine crumbs.
4. In a small bowl beat the egg, water, & lemon juice until well blended. Add to the flour mixture & beat until completely blended & the mixture begins to form a dough. Do not overmix.
5. Transfer to a floured board & knead the dough into a ball. Divide the ball into 6 or 7 equal portions for easier handling. Flatten each portion with the palms of your hands & roll it out to ¼” thick. With a scalloped cookie cutter, cut into 3½” rounds.
6. Place 1 heaping tsp of filling in the center of each round. Fold the edges of the dough toward the center to form a triangle, leaving a bit of the filling visible in the center. Pinch the edges to seal them.
7. Place the hamantaschen on a lightly greased foil-like baking sheet & brush with the egg white. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to racks to cool.
