Mix one dessertspoon of cornflour with a little water to the consistency of thick double cream. Smear one pancake with some of this cornflour mixture and then place another on the top to make a double layer pancake.
Put about a dessertspoonful of duck mixture in the middle of the pancake and fold two sides in to form a point and seal it with the paste. Gently push the duck into the pointed end and then fold over the flap and seal with more paste.
Heat 2 -3 cm of flavourless frying oil in a large, high-sided pan over a medium heat. Fry the duck ‘hamantashen’ until golden brown on both sides.
If the hoisin sauce is too thin to use as a dipping sauce, heat it gently in a small saucepan. Add a and thicken with the cornflour mixed with a little water.
Pour the sauce into a small dish and serve with the duck hamantashen as a dip.
