I used a cutting upward soft drinkable tin to cutting the dough, because it was the size that I want. SeeRead story here.Haman wore a triangular hat, too so.. that was the argue for the kind of the cookie. In Israel, they are known equally Oznei Haman, equally inward Haman's Ears.

There are many variations of the dough on the internet. Some are crispy, some cakey, some yeasty,some made amongst oil, some butter. Traditional fillings are similar poppy seed, prune too apricot. More modern varieties similar chocolate too strawberry jam are also institute nowadays. I decided to teach amongst apricot as I similar the colour.

I altered a flake of the recipe, because I am non really confident of moulding it inward our conditions to remain equally a triangle inward my hands, afterwards they plough into balls, hahaha! I think I overworked the dough. It was a footling flake equally good crunchy, equally this ratio is something I select made before, but it wasn't similar this.

My dried apricots weren't equally good fragrant, too and thence the apricot butter wasn't equally first-class equally I wished. But it's a adept option for a depression sucrose filling.
