you too

can make the whole megillat. Lisa was so taken with my plate of yumminess that she needed the recipe. Well we have a debate going on for which is the better recipe for dough. I'll post both and let you all decide.

Temple hamantaschen

3 eggs
3/4 c canola oil
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c orange juice
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
5-6 c flour

1 container filing - flavor of your choice. I favor prune.

Mix first 5 ingredients in the mixer until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix 4 dry ingredients and add gradually.
Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours.

Form small balls of dough and flatten to about 2" circle.
Place spoonful of filling of your choice. Pinch at three points to make triangle shape.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

3 eggs
3/4 c canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
3 c flour

1 container filing - flavor of your choice. I favor prune.

Mix first 4 ingredients in the mixer until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix 3 dry ingredients and add gradually.
Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours.
