I make a very simple dough:
Hamentashen.
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup shortening
3 eggs
½ cup orange juice
4 cups flower
3 tsps. Baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 pounds filling
Cream sugar, oil and shortening. Add eggs and juice and mix well. Blend with dry ingredients and roll into a ball. Divide into four parts. Roll out each piece very thin, about 1/8 of an inch (about 3 mm) on a floured board. Cut out circles with a cup or a cutter. Place ½ to 2/3 of a teaspoon of filling in the middle of each circle. Fold to form a triangle.
Bake at 30 deg for about 20 minutes, depends on your oven. You can brush the egg wash on the top if you like, I don’t.
Shortening could be substituted with margarine. I have not used butter as I usually need them to be parve, cannot tell you how it would work out.
My mother makes yeast Hamentashen. I have never done it and she doesn’t really have a recipe written down. Unfortunately she is not up for Hamentashen making this year. So I cannot ask for her recipe. G-d willing when she feels better…
