The reason I am telling you all this is that I recently came across one of my old college physics books, in which I had written a number of recipes, including the recipe for hamentashn dough Mrs. Adelson had generously shared with me all those years ago. The dough is chilling now and I will update this post as soon as the hamentashn are filled and baked.
Orange Juice Dough for Hamentashn
(Adapted by The Chocolate Lady)
I
Crumble together five cups of flour with three sticks of butter. Add 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
II
Mix two jumbo egg yolks with one cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and one teaspoon lemon juice.
Mix I and II together and refrigerate overnight.
