Step 1
Mix all ingredients well to form a smooth, elastic dough, adding flour as necessary. Divide the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out 3-inch circles. Place 1/2 to 2/3 teaspoon of filling in the middle of each circle.

20 minutes
To shape the hamentashen, lift up the right and left sides of the dough circle and pinch them together. Bring the bottom flap up to the center to meet the two pinched sides. Pinch all edges together to form a triangular shape. Place the shaped hamentashen on a greased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
