Hamentashen are served during the Jewish holiday of Purim. Whether you\u2019re Jewish or not, you\u2019ll enjoy eating these cookies. Traditionally, they are prepared with eggs; however, here\u2019s a vegan version which you can find in The Vegetarian Resource Group\u2019s vegan cookbook The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Hamentashen<\/strong>
\nServes 15
\n1\u00bd cups unbleached white flour
\n1\u00bd cups whole wheat pastry flour
\n1\u00bd teaspoons baking powder
\n1\/3 cup oil
\n2\/3 cup water
\n\u00bd cup applesauce
\n3 Tablespoons orange juice
\n5 Tablespoons prune or poppy seed filling (found in the baking or Kosher section of
\nsupermarkets)<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
\nMix all the ingredients, except filling, together in a large bowl. Knead dough for
\na few minutes. Separate into 3 balls. Cover balls of dough with a slightly damp towel
\nand refrigerate dough for about 3 hours. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll balls
\nof dough out to 1\/8-inch thickness. Cut out approximately fifteen 4-inch rounds. Place
\n1 teaspoon prune or poppy seed filling in center. Form a triangle out of the dough by
\nfolding in edges but still leaving some space in the middle of the dough for the filling to
\nremain mostly uncovered.
\nBake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until dough is brown. Serve.<\/p>\n

Note: If you are unable to purchase prune or poppy seed filling in your local supermarket, simply pur\u00e9e a few prunes with a little fruit juice. You can also use other fruit fillings such as cherry or strawberry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
