Directions: |
Directions:Cream butter with sugar. Add egg and cream until smooth. Add the milk or water and vanilla. Sift the flour and mix it with the mixture until a ball of dough is formed. Divide the dough in 2 cylinders approx 3 inches in diameter and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350
Using one cylinder of dough at a time, cut 1/8 inch slices of dough. Roll them out and place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center or each round. Fold three sides inward to make a triangle shape and pinch together carefully. Place the triangles on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on rack |

Notes: Hamantashen represents Haman's hat. Haman's hat had three corners. Haman was a mean person who was a guard for the king and wanted to kill all the Jews but he was punished instead and that's why we make Hamantashen.
