Vegan Hamantaschen Recipe
In this blog, I will share with you a vegan hamantaschen recipe that is extremely delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat pastry or spelt flour,
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ tablespoon salt
- ¾ cup vegan margarine
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup orange juice from about 1 large orange
For The Fillings
- Apricot or peach all-fruit preserves
- Strawberry preserves
- Prune butter
Instructions
- food processor, combine 2 12 cups flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well by pulsing on and off a few times.
- Divide up the margarine into pieces and add the vanilla. Mix the flour and margarine together and pulse on and off until well mixed.
- Using the feed tube, add the orange juice and run the motor until the mixture holds together.
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. The dough needs to be soft, but not sticky. Add enough additional flour to make it less sticky, but not stiff.
- For best results, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the oven to 350°F when you are ready to make the cookies.
- Roll the dough out evenly to about an 18-inch thickness on a well-floured board. Slice the dough into circles of 2 to 2 11.2 inches using a cookie cutter or the open end of a glass.
- Combining scraps of dough until they are all gone, repeat with the remaining dough.
- Make a triangle of dough with the filling inside, yet open at the bottom, by placing a teaspoon of filling at the centre of each circle of dough. You may need to pinch more than you think necessary, as they will expand while baking.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly oiled, arrange the cookies. Until the bottoms are golden, bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Avoid overbaking!
- Serve after thoroughly cooling on racks or plates.
