HAMMANTASCHEN RECIPE
Ingredients: 1 1/3 cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, two eggs, 4 cups sifted all purpose flour + a little to dust the rolling surface, 6 tablespoons water, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, filling of your choice
Filling options: poppy seeds, Nutella, raspberry jam, orange marmalade.
Directions: Blend shortening and sugar together until creamy. Blend in eggs, one at a time, until creamy. Stir in water and vanilla extract until well mixed. Stir in flour, a little bit at a time, until blended. Put the mix onto plastic wrap, cover and chill thoroughly. When chilled, dust a rolling surface, and roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass to cut out circles. In each circle, place a teaspoon of filling. Pinch into three corners, with the filling peeking out from the center.
Bake on an oiled cookie sheet at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Makes about two dozen.
