I think we had enough snow….don’t you? Purim is in couple of weeks and some of my favorite treats. Hamantashen is tricky to make, and some involve a lot of work. Here is an easy recipe for quick bake.

Ingredients (dough)
2 ½ cups self rising flour
7 tablespoons (100 grams) butter or margarine
2 eggs
¼ cup sugar

Ingredients (filling)
½ cup of jam, (any flavor you like)
3.5 oz (100 grams) crashed pecans
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
• Put all ingredients and mix until you get smooth dough. If you find it to be dry add some water or orange juice.
• Mix the filling ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Roll the dough out and cut rounds (I use glass).
• Put 1 teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each round and fold it in a shape of triangle.
• Bake it for 15 minutes.
• When it’s ready you can sprinkle sugar powder.


Happy Purim,
