Instructions
- Cream the sugar and margarine. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix together well.
To bake the Hamentaschen
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- On a pastry board or counter, sprinkle a little gluten free flour. Pat a small piece of dough into a rectangle. Sprinkle a little gluten free flour over the top of the dough. Roll the dough to 1/8"-1/4" thickness. Using a round cookie cutter, a glass, or a fluted round cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles.
- Place 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite (pie) filling into the center of each circle. Pinch the circle into a triangle, making sure that the corners are securely pinched/sealed. You do not want the hamantashen to open during baking. Place each hamantash on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until slightly browned.
Tips
- Make sure to pinch the edges together well so they don't open during baking.
- I use a fancy edge round cookie cutter to cut the circles. It's easy to do and looks fabulous.
