4 eggs
1 cup oil
1- 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5- 1/2 cups flour
Check the eggs for spots.
Mix the eggs together with the oil, sugar and vanilla.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together and add to the egg-sugar mixture.
Roll out and cut with round cookie cutter; fill with the filling your choice. Fold into triangles as hamantaschen shape. Brush the unbaked hamantaschen with egg white and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
NOTE: This is a LARGE recipe and may be halved conveniently. When cutting and rolling out the dough, cover the piece of dough which is not yet being used with a piece of plastic wrap so it does not dry out.
