(Jewish Group) Lotus Biscoff and white chocolate hamantaschen

[Behind the Aegis]

*To prepare the hamentashen: heat your oven to 180°C (fan) and line an oven shelf tray or two smaller baking sheets with baking parchment or a silicone mat.

*In a medium bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

*Add the biscuit crumbs plus 225g of the flour and blend at low speed until combined and starting to clump together. Finish pressing it into a dough with your hands.

*Dust flour onto your work surface and, if the dough is very sticky, also dust flour on your rolling pin. Roll the dough until about ½ cm thick. Using a 4 – 5 cm diameter cookie cutter or shot glass, cut out circles and place them the lined oven tray, 2cm apart from each other. If you want larger hamantaschen use a larger cutter and make fewer cookies.

1. I made my mother's honey walnut hamantashen, with

her sour cream yeast dough. Not sweet, but rich Never did them by myself, the recipe came from her Romanian born mother. A taste from my childhood. I want to keep most of them for myself. Talk about gaining a few pounds. Lol

I also ordered some from my synagogue, our kitchen manager was baking them. I got Chocolate, prune, and apricot. My cousin sent me some raspberry ones. They didn't offer poppy seed and it was too much work to make the filling, grinding the itty bitty seeds. I need a better grinder.

We're having a hamantashen swap on Wednesday, and I'm prepared to swap and give away a lot.
Hoping to get some poppyseed ones. And maybe there will be some decadent ones like the one you shared.

Are you baking them?

2. I am not a very good baker.

However, I may give it a try. I did find a "cheat" so I may try that first. Being in this part of Oklahoma, I am one of maybe 10 Jews, if that. If I want to find much more Jewish stuff, I'd have to head to Tulsa.
