1 cup | shortening like Crisco |
1 cup | sugar |
4 | egg yolk |
1/2 teaspoon | salt |
2 teaspoons | baking powder |
1 teaspoon | baking soda |
4 1/2 cups | flour |
3/4 cup | orange juice |
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs. Then add dry ingredients alternately with orange juice. Knead until all mixed. Shape into long rolls & refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight (Dorothy prefers overnight). Roll out, fill and bake on a greased cookie sheet 375°F 10-12 minutes or until as brown as you like.
Note: the cookie cutter I use is a can that used to hold 5 oz of tuna or salmon. Several days before Purim, I open the can, eat the tuna and send the empty can through the dishwasher. It's a great size for making hamentashen. The diameter is 3 1/4 inches.
