10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 9: Cheddar Jalapeño Knishentashen
Here’s where I’m at in my life right now: I can’t get enough of potato and cheese and pastry dough wrappers. That might not sound very glamorous, but Molly Yeh made my Savory Jewish Pastry Dreams come true, and now I can’t stop making knishentashen. Earlier in this “10 Days of Hamantashen” series, I was […]
