Purim Poppy Seed Hamentaschen Recipe

Sieve together the flour, baking powder, icing sugar, and a pinch of salt twice to ensure everything is well combined and aerated.

Transfer these dry ingredients to a food processor, add the cubed cold butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

To make the filling, combine the sugar, milk or orange juice in a small pan and bring to a boil.

Stir in the poppy seeds, lemon zest, and raisins. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens significantly. Remove from the heat, stir in the honey, and let the filling cool completely before using it to fill the dough.
