Hamantaschen are triangular shaped filled pastries that are baked and eaten for the celebration of Purim. The word Hamantaschen means “Haman’s pockets” Haman was the corrupt villain of the Book of Esther, and the triangular pastries are said to resemble his three cornered hat. Another explanation for the three corners are the three Israelite patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
These pastries can best be described to those who have not tried one as a scone with a fruity filling.
