Cooking" by Sara Kasden - 1956

Soften yeast in lukewarm water. Add salt, sugar, and shortening to water
or potato water. Add 2 cups flour; beat thoroughly. Add yeast and eggs,
mixing well. Add the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a
lightly floured board until shiny. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover
with a tea towel, and let stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled
in bulk. Punch down the dough and turn it over. Cover with a tea towel.
Chill in the refrigerator overnight.

Divide the dough into balls the size of a small apple. Roll out to rounds
1/4 inch thick. Place a tablespon of filling in the center of each round.
Bring three sides of the circle together at the center to form a triangle.
Pinch edges together to form a slight ridge. Let stand at room temperature
until doubled in bulk. Brush tops with an egg yolk diluted with 1
tablespoon water. Place very far apart on greased baking tins and bake at
350F until golden brown (about 35 minutes). Makes 15 very large
Hamentaschen.
