“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Hamantaschen

 

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp liquid honey
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
3 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 filling:
2 cup pitted prunes
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten



 

Preparation

Tricornered hat-shaped hamantaschen, filled with dried fruit, poppy
seeds or jam, are a traditional treat during PURIM, one of the
liveliest of the Jewish holidays. Try our prune filled version for a
sweet taste of the festivities on March 19.

In large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in
honey, vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Combine flour with baking powder; gradually stir into
butter mixture. Press gently into ball; wrap and refrigerate for at
least 2 hours or up to 3 days. FILLING: In food processor, finely
chop together prunes, raisins,walnuts, lemon rind and juice, and
sugar. On floured surface, roll out one-quarter of the dough at a
time to 1/8 inch thickness. Using floured 2-1/2 inch round cutter,
cut out rounds. Place heaping teaspoonful of filling in center of
each. Fold three sides up to make three corners;pinch each corner to
seal. Reroll scraps once. Place on greased baking sheets; brush egg
over edges. Bake in 350 F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Let cool on racks. Makes about 5 dozen.
