As many of you (especially the old-timers here) know, it’s an annual tradition in my family to bake hamantaschen. It’s also become an annual tradition for me to post a link to the pictures here. I’ve been doing so every year since 2002, making this the 13th year in a row.
This year’s pictures can be found here:

I haven’t made hamantaschen since I lived in Michigan. I worked as a baker in a deli and got the recipe from the owner’s mother. Used poppyseed filling and date filling.
I’m making mine the 15th (today by the clock, tomorrow subjectively). A double batch of dough, and the fillings are going to be apple, raspberry, Nutella, and s’mores.
Do you have any favorite dough recipes? I haven’t made them in ages, and there are probably recipes around the house (and certainly on the Web), but one can never have too many.
Right? They’re so GROWN.
Looks like a ton of fun was had, as usual, and what a great tradition to keep bringing your family to have fun baking. I look forward to what this looks like in a decade.
Really, that recipe could spread across the Dope. Maybe other poster would take pictures of their own families and post them. They could wait for zev to start each year’s thread, then add to it.
