Hamentashen (also spelled hamentasch, homentash, homentasch, homentaschan, or even (h)umentash.) are associated with the Jewish holiday of Purim which you may remember from the book of Esther in the Bible. They symbolize the defeat of their enemies when Haman sought to destroy the Jews.

 

What Is Hamentashen?

 

Hamentashen are flaky filled-pocket cookie or pastry recognizable for its triangular shape.  that is traditionally filled with apricot, prune, and poppy seed filling. However chocolate and other fruit fillings have become popular to fill them with.

  • Spatula

 

Ingredients To Make Hamentashen

1 cup of raw sugar

1 1/3 cups room temperature butter

2 large room temperature eggs

6 tablespoons water
