Do you open or close the tops of your hamentaschen?
I never saw a closed one.
It’s very hard to keep the hamantaschen closed. When they bake, sometimes it opens up wider than you would like. To me, it’s nice when just a bit peeks through. If it is too open, then too much of the filling can bubble away as it bakes,especially yummy things like blueberries.
Both
Never saw such a hamantach that I recall.
Cookie Dough…open top
Yeast Raised Dough (pastry consistency) closed because the whole hamentash gets brushed with an egg wash and a very light sprinkle of poppy seeds
Open hamantaschen. Closed coffin.
Made pop tart hamantaschen tonight – two triangles of dough on top of each other, filled with jelly and pinched closed all around the sides with a fork. Topped it with icing and sprinkles. SO good.
The Kosher Products Safety Commission once recalled closed hamantaschen because they exploded when they were bitten.
Are there people who actually like hamantashen?
I want hamenteschen! I did not have any!
LU: Depending on the filling, YES (purposely shouting). My wife makes a blueberry filled one and my niece makes a chocolate filled one.
I had one one bite of a hamantashen, but it was after shkiyah.
Was I yotzei?
I said l’sheim yichud
Only if it was a k’zayis and if you had in mind that it was Shushan Purim and that you were eating it as a segula to be zoche to keep Shushan Purim next year in Yerushalayim Habenuya, and if you included that in the l’sheim yichud.
The best thing to have done would have been to have eaten a second k’zayis of hamantashen after tzeis hakochavim and to have had in mind that if the first one was eaten b’zman, then the first one should count for the first day of Purim and the second one for Shushan Purim, but if it was really already Shushan Purim, then the first one should count for Shushan Purim and the second one should be tashlumim for the first day.
You mean there are people out there who don’t enjoy hamentaschen?
I do like chocolate ones actually. And strawberry jelly ones are okay. That’s it that I can think of.
I’m late to the Purim party but I much prefer open-top hamentaschen. Unless I know for a fact that all closed-top hamentaschen have poppy seeds inside. That way, I know what flavor I’m getting.
Something to keep in mind for next year, I guess. 😛
It’s supposed to be closed because of hester but then we’d never know the flavor when we buy them.
