Hamentaschen



1c Butter, softened
1tsp orange zest
1c sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp orange juice
2 1/2c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
Preserves/jam...whatever flavor you like (we usually use apricot & raspberry)

1. Mix all ingredients together. Batter/dough will be thick
2. roll out to between 1/8" and 1/4" think.
3. cut into 3" rounds
4. dot each with a small amount of jam. (This is the part where judgment/experiment comes in. Dot sounds small, about 1/2-3/4 tsp is about right.)
5. turn up edges to form triangle and pinch together, leaving small opening in center. If you accidentally make them 4-sided (which is easy to do), don't worry they still taste good.

400 deg oven until lightly browned
