How To Make Hamantashen

[@esthernwousi9813]

I love Lea's perky and fun personality, oh she is so confident and friendly in her demonstration!!

[@williamfotiou7577]

Your website seems to be down, and I'd love your recipe. You do a great jobs of explaining the technique for the dough. Thanks for sharing!

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Thanks for letting me know about the site being down. Have a glitch due to the Passover order link. Hope to have it up soon. My recipe at work is 4.5 pounds of sugar, 3.75 pounds of margarine, 10 eggs, 2 1/2 cups of orange juice, 1/3 cup vanilla, 10.5 pounds of flour. Let me see if I can translate: Combine well, 1 cup of sugar and 3/4 cups margarine. Add 1 egg and incorporate. Add 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Add 3 1/2 cups flour. Mix until it all comes together smoothly. Refrigerate for an hour to chill. Roll to a little more than 1/4" thick. Cut with 2 1/2" cookie cutter. This is around 30 - 36 cookies. Continue as video. Thanks!

@@LeahCooksKosher thank you very much. I have a Jewish friend who always gives me hamantaschen when she makes them, your recipe looked excellent, so now I'll make them for her!

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Perfect! Just remember to use high quality ingredients.

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Oh my gosh I always pinch my hamentashen before I put them on the baking tray and it totally seemed crazy to me to do it this way you know because when you're so used to your own way you can't imagine any other! Lol, this year I made rainbow hamentashenon my channel if you want to see!

[@milanat2295]

I am making this today!! I have always wanted to make them. Thank you for sharing.

@Eduardo Zayn Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!

[@eduardozayn3735]

@Kason River You are welcome :)

[@scotteboy]

May I ask? Before margarine what was Grandma Sadie using in the Shtettle? Schmaltz?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

My best guess is butter and not eaten with a meat meal.

[@lingling86]

Welcome back Leah!! You were greatly missed ... Shalom Aleichem, and Happy Purim!!

[@ronaldfousek1470]

Thank you for the nicely presented video. My comment is baking with store bought raspberry jam will have disappointing results. If you use this product perhaps thickening it with a little corn starch might keep it from being so runny.

[@laurafrey5244]

I use store bought raspberry pie filling - it's perfect!

[@souzanir]

Great to see you again Leah! Have a great Purim!

[@love24297]

Hey Leah, I made them and they turned out amazing. But, 1 thing I noticed is that the poppy seed filling fell flat after I took it out. I put a lot in the middle and the cookie retained its shape but the filling did not stand up. Hope I make sense. Can you help me understand why?

[@CatsPajamas23]

Helpful tip: If you spray the pastry bag lightly with oil before you fill it, the jam or filling won't stick to the sides.

[@bendandx]

Now you tell me! Just finished 3500 hamantachen with some very sticky bags! Chag sameach Purim!

[@ilanelron6786]

Waiting for the walnut and 'sweet stuff' filling - I can't recall whether it was sugar or honey, 'twas 60 years ago. Also, I prefer the dough to come out as a friable sheet that 'breaks' into small flat chunks rather than the butter cookie consistency.

[@tinahart147]

Hey excellent video Leah!! Thank you! You are so Beautiful!!

[@sunflowerslily]

Where’s the recipe for the cookie? Thanks

[@18mirely]

[@Sherrie_D]

You're back!!

[@jmissesblac2006]

Where is she now? No more videos for 3 years?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Whoa! Didn't think anyone noticed! I'd better get on it - life has been hectic but that isn't an excuse. Thanks!

[@Manyshapes]

I hate when they don’t give ingredients. I don’t want to surf websites chasing ingredients

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Well, I spent hours and hundreds of dollars to do this much. Seems a small ask to go to my blog for the recipe. Can't win!

[@thuggie1]

i usually ask my mother to make the dough but it does not look that hard to do, i do mine with finely diced dried apricots mixed with lemon marmalade

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Your filling sounds fabulous; love dried apricots! The cookie dough type of hamantachen is easy. The yeast ones, one look at the recipe and I thought, nope - not for thousands of pieces!

[@reginediveroli3404]

Qd on cuisine vaut mieux s'attacher les cheveux c'est plus hygiénique

[@LeahCooksKosher]

yes, and at work it is.....

[@urbanviii6557]

Margarine is a NO NO. Not a good food product. Actually, unhealthy for you.

[@morehn]

Urban VIII You're right. Use schmaltz.

[@mstraction]

I just made these and they looked great but the dough tastes not great...I made the chocolate filling and that was not good either....need new dough recipe this one does not taste good...it is easy to make and looks great but if you have to eat it make another hamantaschen recipe...by the way I think she spelled Hamantaschen wrong..

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hmmm, I've made at least a couple hundred thousand of these and sold them to the same people every year. I will say that I'm super particular about the ingredients. Since I do have to make them pareve, I won't use cheap margarine. Imperial is 50% water, I think. Earth Balance or Fleishman's makes a nice dough if it is mixed so it comes together into a softer, pliable dough. Also, maybe 6 or 7 years ago, I noticed that chocolate chips have become really crappy. The chocolate filling was runny, gritty and awful. In recent years, we've been using much more expensive chocolate and the filling is smooth and bakes like a brownie. I only use real vanilla extract - imitation tastes terrible. I only use C & H sugar, too. Other stuff can be beet sugar and it isn't as nice. I've eaten 12 so far and they seem great to me. So, I'd review your ingredients.

Gager Heyman : ''taschen'' is the plural from '''tasche'' (learn german first before.....👈critics

No metrumements 😒

Hi Aidee - all the recipes and instructions for this channel are at LeahCooksKosher.com. Happy baking!

[@gagerheyman]

Ok first of all, you can't make HAMANTASCHEN, because that makes no sense, it's like saying I'm gonna make Christmas cookie...a hamantaschen is the name of one single hamantaschen, so it would be how to make hamantaschenSSSSS as in MULTIPLE

[@morehn]

gager Heyman Hamantashen is plural, hamantash is singular. Hamanpockets vs. Hamanpocket. You make hamantashen or a hamantash.
