articlemain

Choose your preferred savoury filling. The quantity of each flavour is sufficient to fill the full amount of dough.
Makes: 20-25
Preparation: 25 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

Ingredients
Dough:
● 360g plain flour
● 150g double cream
● 1 egg yolk
● 1½ tsp salt
● ¾ tbsp sugar
● 250g butter, cut into cubes

Corn filling:
● 100g feta cheese
● 100g tinned sweet corn drained
● 100g yellow cheese, grated
● Pinch of pepper
● 1 egg for glazing the dough

Camembert cheese and berries filling:
● 100g Camembert cheese, cut into small cubes
● 50g dried cranberries
● 100g cheddar cheese, grated
● 1 egg for glazing the dough

Method

● Preheat the oven to 180°C.

● In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook mix all the dough ingredients together until you get a smooth dough.

● Roll out the dough on a floured surface to approximately 1/4 cm thick and then cut the dough into circles of 8-10 cm with a cookie cutter - or you can use the rim of a glass.

● Brush each circle with beaten egg.

● In a bowl, mix all the ingredients of your chosen filling and place a teaspoon of filling into the centre of each circle of dough.

● Fold up the sides of the dough to make a triangle, pinching the points gently to seal but leaving the centre of the filling exposed.

● Brush the sides of the folded dough with egg.

● Put the hamantashen on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake until lightly golden - about 10 minutes.

● Let the hamantashen cool before serving.
