Hamenstashen, anybody?

err....To those other people who are Jewish, or even if you're not and you have a clue what I'm talking about, any good, healthy recipes for hamenstashen? Happy Purim to those that celebrate it, by the way! ^^;;;

this is a good one.  I don't remember where I copied it from though.

1 naval orange
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups flour
Prune preserves (lekvar) or any other jam or preserves

Wash the orange carefully.  Cut up the whole orange, with the peel, and pulse it in your food processor until finely chopped. Add the eggs, sugar and oil, and process for about 10 seconds. Add the baking powder and flour and pulse several times, just until the flour is blended into a slightly sticky dough. Divide into 4 pieces and roll out one at a time.

Flour a board well, flour the rolling pin and roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 3-inch circles. Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Pinch the sides of the circle up, making a triangular hat shape, and leaving the top slightly open so the filling is visible. Pinch the corners tightly to prevent leakage while baking.

Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350º F (180º C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Makes about 4 dozen hamantaschen.

I made it last year with this recipe:

Turned out great.  I used mango jelly from Trader Joe's instead of poppy seed filling though.

Happy Purim  =)
