“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |

Combine the dough ingredients to form dough. Grind the filling
ingredients together with a food grinder.
Roll out the dough and cut circles with a glass. Put a spoonful of
filling in the center of each circle, and fold up sides of the dough
to form triangular filled cookies.
Bake at 400 F until lightly browned.
I haven't actually made this recipe, but I've been enjoying the
hamentaschen for years. For poppyseed filling, I think I'd just use
the solo filling from th can. I've made my own hamentaschen using
various jams for filling, with some success. Good luck.
