Flayshige Hamantashen
Serves 4.
3/4 lb. lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped fine
salt
pepper
garlic powder
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
3/4 cup milk (if you want to be kosher, substitute water for the milk)
1/4 cup shortening
Sift dry ingredients, mix in onion flakes, cut in shortening until like meal, then stir in milk with a fork until it forms a dough. Knead it 6-10 times. Roll it out and cut it into four equilateral triangles about 7-8 inches on a side.
Fry the meat and onions and spices together. Drain the fat and divide the meat into four equal parts. Place one portion in the center of a dough triangle. Pick up the corners and stick them together. Seal the resulting three edges to obtain a Hamantashen shaped pastry. Bake at 450oF for ten minutes.
