Ingredients:

Dough:

4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk

1 cup sugar

Juice of 1 lemon

Juice of 1/2 orange

2 tablespoons brandy

Filling:

Any fruit flavor jam

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, both juices and brandy until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until a sticky dough is formed.

Knead dough. Form small balls with dough and then push dough with thumb to form a flat circle around 3 inches across (or something resembling a circle). Put about 1/2 to 1 tsp of apricot or raspberry jam (or any other filling) in the middle. Fold up three sides to form a triangle. Place on buttered cookie tin. Cook for about 15 minutes until browned.
