Hamentashen from neighbor!

A hamantash is an Ashkenazi Jewish triangular filled-pocket pastry associated with the Jewish holiday of Purim. The name refers to Haman, the villain in the Purim story. In Hebrew, hamantashen are also known as אוזני meaning "Haman's ears".

Grocery here used to have them (originally established by Jewish family.)

Just learned these are gluten- and dairy-free.
