HAMENTASCHEN

Dessert

Yield: about 4 dozen

Basic Oil Dough (see featured recipes)
Filling of your choice (see featured recipes)
1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tsp water

Fill these triangular treats with homemade or store-bought fillings. You can also use thick preserves or canned poppy seed filling.

Prepare dough and desired filling as directed. (Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen.)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Flour each piece of dough lightly. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch circles, using a round cookie cutter or a small juice glass.

Place a spoonful of filling on each circle. Bring up 3 sides to meet, then pinch edges of dough together to form a triangle. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Place on sprayed foil-lined cookie sheets. Brush with egg glaze.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden.

Freezes well.
