My best childhood friend Sarah had a Grandma Florence, so of course, she was also my Grandma Florence. She called us “Betty and Veronica” because Sarah was blonde and boisterous while I was dark and more quiet – but we were inseparable. My best friend’s mom HJ baked these hamantaschen every Purim. I remember the soft velvety texture and perfectly subtle sweetness of the cookie. Years later, HJ got diagnosed with celiac disease and stopped baking Grandma Florence’s Hamantaschen because it just wasn’t fun for her to watch everyone else eat. This year, I baked the recipe with Blends by Orly London Blend and they were absolutely identical in flavor and texture. Needless to say, Grandma Florence’s legacy lives on!
