Given how special Eve is, I had to create this Gluten - Free Raspberry
Hamantaschen recipe in her honor.
I have
made hamantaschen many times before at home, but have always used a butter - based recipe that's very similar, actually, to the cookie - like sweet tart dough that we use often with TWD projects.
Even if you don't know the story of Purim, you can still enjoy a platter
of hamantaschen cookies, the sweets typically served on the Jewish holiday.
And hope to catch a few winks before I go meet my friend Abbe who invited me to bake
Hamantaschen with her!
They are also often made for other Jewish holidays such as Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) and Purim (along with
Hamantaschen cookies).
I don't think I have ever made traditional
hamantaschen in my life, can you imagine?
Except every time I bought
classic hamantaschen for the kids, my allergic toddler would watch his older siblings enviously and each time I promised myself to make an egg - free version.
Mine stayed together pretty well, but I don't mind if
hamantaschen open up or leak a little.
Since last year's
sushi hamantaschen were such a huge hit, I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Mr. Zuckerberg's last public post on Facebook was a March 2 photo of himself and his wife, Priscilla Chan,
baking hamantaschen cookies to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Purim; Ms. Sandberg's most recent post was a four - day - old photo from her child's debate competition.
Once you have drawn your guide, take a smaller triangular cookie cutter and cut through the layers of filo to remove their centers,
resembling hamantaschen.
Not only do the
raw hamantaschen resemble a real cookie, they taste incredible too, all without the guilt.
My friend recently commented to me that she is really enjoying all of the
unique hamantaschen she sees popping up on her newsfeed.
At first, I just made slits in the dough, ala classic pie, but they just looked like rustic hand pies,
not hamantaschen.
I love serving these gluten - free Chocolate Raspberry
Hamantaschen at my children's Purim parties and have often made these for my younger son's Chavurah.
Now they don't always taste great (in fact, the mass -
produced hamantaschen are often quite awful), but they look spot - on.
Ran into a bit of a problem, however, with the
rhubarb hamantaschen recipe: the ingredients list «1 pound (905 grams)» of rhubarb, which doesn't make sense — a pound is about 450g, so I tend to guess that it should have been 2 pounds?
, and two of the holiday's food - related activities are drinking alcohol and
eating hamantaschen (recipe coming soon!).
The recipes I have already bookmarked to try are babka bites, gingerbread cookies, red
velvet hamantaschen, and Passover Mexican chocolate cookies.
NOTE: I used a 2.5 ″ cookie cutter, but this fits the hot dogs just / just and makes
small hamantaschen.
