In the lab: Hamantaschen...This traditional triangular Ashkenazy stuffed cookie is baked during the Jewish holiday of Purim. It represents the three-cornered hat of Haman, the villain of the Purim story. It is usually stuffed with sweet fillings like poppy seeds or apricot jam but I decided to fill them with dates and pecans, figs and Dulce de leche. The dough has to be used as soon as you make it so it is recommended to start making your fillings, continue with the dough, make the hamentashen and finally bake them. This recipe yields approximately 40 hamantashen. Hope you like it!
