APRICOT OR PLUM FILLING

1/2

cups apricot or plum jam

cup finely chopped almonds or walnuts

teaspoon grated lemon peel

tablespoon lemon juice

cup dry bread crumbs (about)

POPPY SEED FILLING

cup poppy seed

cup walnut pieces

tablespoon butter or margarine

tablespoon honey

teaspoon lemon juice

egg white

Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter, using

pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture resembles fine

crumbs. Mix lemon peel, vanilla and eggs. Stir into flour mixture until

dough forms a ball. (Use hands to mix all ingredients if necessary; add up

to 1/4 cup additional flour if dough is too sticky to handle.) Cover and

refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.

Prepare desired filling. Heat oven to 350º. Roll half of dough at a time

/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered surface. Cut into 3-inch

rounds. Spoon 1 level teaspoon filling onto each round. Bring up 3 sides,

using metal spatula to lift, to form triangle around filling. Pinch edges

together firmly. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie

sheet to wire rack.

PRUNE FILLING:

Heat prunes and enough water to cover to boiling in 2-quart saucepan;

reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes; drain well. Mash prunes. Stir in

remaining ingredients.

APRICOT OR PLUM FILLING:

Mix jam, almonds, lemon peel and lemon juice. Stir in just enough bread

crumbs until thickened.

POPPY SEED FILLING:

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover and blend until

smooth.
