Instructions to make Hamantaschen:
- To make the pastry, beat the icing sugar and the egg yolks in a food processor or with an electric mixer. Add the butter and lemon zest and beat to blend. Gradually add the flour and the salt, mixing until it forms a ball. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
- To make the marzipan, put the ground almonds, icing sugar and egg yolks in a bowl. Mix with a spatula, gradually adding the lemon juice, until the marzipan is smooth with a doughy consistency. Form a ball or a long sausage shape on a surface liberally dusted with icing sugar, wrap in cling film and refrigerate.
- To make the poppy seed filling, grind the poppy seeds in a coffee grinder almost to a powder. Put the milk, sugar, vanilla seeds and the pod, and orange zest in a pan and bring to the boil. Fish out the vanilla pod and discard. Pour in the poppy seeds and raisins and turn the heat down so it just simmers. Stir every now and then and cook for about 15 minutes until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the poppy seeds thicken considerably. Add the lemon juice, the brandy and the butter, stir in and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mix reaches thick, spreading consistency. Leave to cool.
- Each of the above amounts of filling is enough to fill all the cookies so if you’re making a mix, you’ll have quite a bit of leftover filling, which can easily be frozen. Otherwise halve the ingredients.
- When you’re ready to make the biscuits, bring the pastry to almost room temperature, otherwise it will be impossible to roll out.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4. Line at least 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (this amount makes 35 biscuits so you’ll probably need to re-use the sheets).
- Roll out the dough to about 3mm thickness – if it’s too thick it will crack when folding the edges.
- Cut out circles with a 3 inch pastry cutter. Put a heaping teaspoon of the poppy seed filling or a blob of marzipan the size of a walnut in the centre of each. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold the sides to form a triangle.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg. - Bake until golden and firm all the way through, about 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
