3 eggs
1 cup oil, such as Gefen Canola Oil
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
up to 7 and 1/2 cups Tuscanini Flour (you may not need all of it; see directions)
juice and zest of 1 lemon
Lotus cream filling
crushed Lotus cookies, for topping
Place all ingredients in food processor. Add flour one cup at a time, incorporating it fully before adding the next, until the dough forms a ball and pulls away clean from the sides of the bowl. You may not need the full 7 and 1/2 cups of flour! Let the dough rest.
Roll out thin and cut dough into circles.
Place a small amount of filling into the center of each round. Fold into the shape of a triangle and place on a lined baking sheet. Continue until all dough is used up, rerolling scraps and cutting out more dough circles as needed.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 minutes.

Thanks so much! They look so yummy! I just tried making them since I saw the new video you did with Adina Shoshana with these, but I’m a little confused since there were different directions on the video. Here it said to use the food processor and only 4 cups of flour, but on the video she used a regular kitchen aid and about 7.5 cups of flour. How much flour should i do, and can i use a regular mixer? Thanks so much! They look so good!

Thanks for catching that! The correct amount is 7 1/2 cups, but you might need more or less depending on the texture of your dough and the humidity in your kitchen, so add it gradually and go by feel.
Are you sure about the amount of flour? I put in 7 and a little cups, figuring I’d add more if needed and it was so thick! Was like a yeast dough that didn’t rise. I baked 3 to test them and they were hard and chewy even though they were rolled thin.
We’re so sorry it didn’t turn out the way you expected! That definitely sounds frustrating. This dough is meant to be on the firmer side, but it shouldn’t feel overly dense or tough.
A few things can affect the texture here. How did you mix the dough, by hand, Bosch, or KitchenAid? And which flour did you use? The recipe was tested with Tuscanini flour, which is a finer, lighter flour. If you’re using a standard all-purpose flour, you may need slightly less than the full amount listed.
Also, flour measurements can vary quite a bit depending on how it’s measured. We recommend adding it gradually and stopping once the dough forms a smooth ball.
I used a Bosch, and the dough was so tough that it cracked my cookie paddle! Didn’t have the full amount of flour and it wasn’t usable.
Mine also didnt turn out so great, the dough was hard to work with and all of them popped open. Thought it was just me but after reading other reviews I can see other people had similar issues. Oh well I guess it was my first time making hamentashen and the last too!
A kitchen aid or food processor will both work for this.
