Purim - Who is Behind the Mask


Rabbi Andrea's Seimi-Homemade Purim Hamanstaschen Recipe.

Oh No! Purim is this weekend. Every year you say you will make the Hamantaschen and every year you wind up not making them at all, but buying them in the store. What fun is that? Purim is a holiday of fun, so have fun and an easy way with less time making the Hamantaschen and more fun enjoying them.

Rabbi Andrea's Seimi-Homemade Hamanstaschen Recipe.
I only borrowed the title from Sandra Lee on Food Network, not the recipe.

    Products to Pick Up at the Supermarket:
  • Pillsbury readymade pie crusts
  • Jelly in a jar – Blackberry, apricot (yum)
  • Walnuts
    The Semi-Homemade Hamantaschen – Easy Recipe for fun:
  • Pillsbury readymade pie crusts.
  • Take the dough out of the box – place on wax paper or cutting board
  • Take a small juice glass, turn upside down onto dough, and use to cut out circles.
  • As many circles as you can make in the pie crusts. Use all the dough.
  • You may need 2 boxes of pie crusts or 3 boxes – depending how many you are making for in your household

    Dough Circles – this is where the laughter begins around the table
  • A teaspoon of jelly
  • A few pieces of walnuts
  • All in the middle of the circle
  • Pinch 3-corners of the circle to create a triangle cookie in the shape of Haman’s hat.
  • Crack an egg; mix with a fork, brush a little on the cookie part
  • Bake for 10 minutes on 350 or until the cookie (aka pie crust) is golden brown
Not quite a cookie, not quite a pie - but it is still a Hamantaschen for Purim this weekend.

It is still the shape of the Haman's Hat. Make some noise with your Purim Gragger!

Don't knock Semi-Homemade - Look how Sandra Lee made a name for herself on the Food Network!
