Ingredients




1 cup Ground poppy seeds
cup Milk or water
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine
cup Granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (level) golden (corn) syrup or honey
2 tablespoons Sultanas (golden raisins) or 1 cup Cake crumbs
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence

Preparation

1 Some recipes for Hamantashen, from various sources. For those of you who don't know, this is a traditional Jewish food (pastry) eaten during the festival of Purim. It is made in the shape of a triangle to remember the triangle shaped hat worn by the villian Hayman of the Queen Ester story. 2 I'm also going to suggest you check out the New Complete International pastry hamantaschen, Kichel Hamantaschen, wine and walnut filled hamantaschen (romanian style), Parev dough hamantaschen, soured cream hamantaschen, a delux cheese filling, a delux walnut filling. 3 Since your interest is in poppyseed filling, I"m including one of the poppyseed fillings from that book (there's a bunch of them). 4 Grind the poppy seeds in a nut or coffee grinder, then heat gently with all the other ingredients (except the crumbs and vanilla) stirring constantly until a thick paste is formed. Stir in crumbs and vanilla. 5 /COOKIES
