  2. Purim Eve is here! 🎭✨

    Israel is buzzing—costumes, parades, and festive energy everywhere! Bakeries overflow with אוזני המן (Haman’s ears), the classic Purim treat.

    In Hebrew:
    ▪️ Singular: אוזן המן /’o-zen ha-’man/ (Haman’s ear)
    ▪️ Plural: אוזני המן /oz-’ney ha-’man/ (Haman’s ears)

    Why ears?
    📖 Midrash: Haman’s ears were cut as punishment.
    🥐 Culinary: A known Purim pastry in Europe.
    🟡 Yiddish: “Hamantaschen” means “Haman’s pockets,” later aligning with the Hebrew “ear” version.

    Bite into an ear, a pocket, or just a delicious pastry—חג פורים שמח! 🥳

  3. I make these hamantaschen every year. They’re not the easiest dough to work with, they’re crumbly, they’re fussy, sometimes the jam leaks all over the place. But I love them. Sometimes imperfections are character. These are important lessons - take some chances, roll some dice, be delicious in your own way, and most of all be composed of a substantial percentage of butter. #cooking #dessert #hamantaschen #purim #cookies

  4. The best ice cream sandwich you will ever have, is between two #frenchmacarons . I did it last night. Oh, and that’s vanilla extract in with my French meringue and the filling in the image is blackberry. #personalchef #hamantaschen #purim #jewapron #kosheronabudget #frenchmacaron #macaron

  5. Happy #Purim!

    In English, the traditional cookies are called #hamantaschen, after the bad guy in the Purim story's hat.

    In Hebrew, they're called אוזני המן (oznei haman), after the bad guy's ears. Because in ancient Persia sometimes criminals would get their ears removed.

  6. Happy Purim! I love this hamantaschen recipe from @bonappetitmag. It has 3.2 stars because it’s finicky, the dough is tricky to work with, and it breaks when folded. And I don’t care, because I love the texture and the way they taste. Raspberry and poppy seed again this year. I tried a new custardy poppy filling that I spiked with a little vanilla, and it was MUCH better than the last one. #hamantaschen #cooking #purim #cookies #dessert

  7. I think these may be my new #Purim tradition. Super tasty and less fussy than #hamantaschen.

  8. Today I discovered that #Hamantaschen can be bought in #Japan.

    ¥300 for one.

    I’m planning to try to make some but I now have a back up plan if mine are awful 😂

  9. Honestly, are #hamantaschen difficult to make for someone with basically zero baking experience? #Purim #Mazeldon
