Okay Jews and Kitchen Mavens alike....

I need a hamentaschen recipe.

I need a fabulous yummy hamentaschen recipe. And if you have mohn filling to go along with it, that would be really extra neat.

See, I haven't baked them in years. And aquariumgirl hasn't ever done it. So we wanna do it. And Purim is only a couple of weeks away.

So if you know how to do it, share share share share please?

Mmmmmm....sounds yummy.

I've got Apricot ones that just leapt into my cart at the grocery store yesterday. Apricot are my favorite, but I want to try ones with a lemon filling...that sounds yummy.

Recipe from Mom... looks like she made them lower in by swapping out the sour cream for yogurt. :)

2 2/3 cups plain flour

Refrigerate at least 2 hrs. or overnight
Roll out the dough about ¼” thick

Put a spoonful of filling into the center of each circle
Dampen the edges with water

(The plain dough makes excellent cookies!)
