Hamantaschen
These cookies are popular among all Jews for Purim holiday. They are called "Oznei Haman" in Hebrew and "Orejas de Haman" in Spanish. Both mean "Haman's Ears" recalling the villain Haman in the story of Purim. The etymology of the Yiddish "Hamantaschen" is unclear - some saying it refers to a "poppy" confection, others linking the three cornered cookie to Haman's three cornered hat.
These cookies go well with most jams or preserves as filling, or try the filling used below. Prep time does not include time for dough to rise.
