HAMANTASCHEN or OZNEI HAMAN

Hamantaschen is a traditionally sweet Purim pastry but can be also adjusted to our Low Glycemic lifestyle.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup oats flour
• 1 ½ cups sprouted whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup Splenda® (or ¼ cup pure fructose)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 stick of cold margarine
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Lemon peel from ½ lemon

Directions:

• In a medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients (first five).
• Using a knife, to blend in the margarine and make a crumbly dough by hands.
• Beat eggs with vanilla, add lemon peel.
• Pour the eggs mixture into crumbs, making a dough.

Cover with nylon wrap and let to rest for about an hour. Meanwhile, make the fillings.

I am not giving exact measures for fillings since you can use many different combinations.

Two fillings which I used were:

• Chopped apricots with walnuts.
• Boiled poppy seeds with melted chocolate

Other options:

• Almond meal with 100% fruit jam
• Chopped prunes
• Chopped prunes, mixed with chopped walnuts or almonds

Directions:

• Divide a dough into 3-4 parts for easier rolling.
• Roll out a dough and cut into circles using a glass 2 – 2.5 inches in diameter.
• Place ½ tsp of filling on each circle, and then wrap it up into a triangular shape.
• Place on a baking sheet covered with non-stick baking paper, and bake 13-15 minutes on 390*F (180*C).
