INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the flour with butter and baking powder, add the sugar, a little salt, 1 egg, grated lemon zest and enough orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible) to make a dough stretchy enough to work well.
Leave to cool in the fridge for about half an hour.
When it has cooled down, roll out on a floured board to a thickness of 3-5 mm and cut out circles with a pastry cutter about 5 cm in diameter.
Place 1-1 teaspoon of jam in the centre.
Fold the circles in on 3 sides and pinch the corners together.
Brush the folded up sides of the pastry with the second beaten egg and bake in a 180 °C oven until golden brown.

CHEESE-FILLED TRIANGLES
Triangular dishes are common in traditional Purim dishes, symbolizing the hat worn by Haman, the villain of the story.
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Slowly add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Mix the spinach and salt. Add feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Simmer on low heat and stir until it thickens, approx. for 5-10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Roll out the pastry sheets one by one on a flat surface. Spread it with unsalted butter, then cut it into strips about 12 cm wide.
Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach, and feta mixture at one end of each strip of dough.
Fold the end of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue to fold the strip in a triangle shape until you have a small, triangular-shaped filled dough. Spread with unsalted butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough.
Bake in the oven preheated to 200 degrees until golden brown in about 12-15 minutes.

INSTRUCTIONS
To make the dough, mix the flour with the butter, then quickly knead in the sugar, egg yolks and white wine. The dough should be crumbly.
To make the nut filling, put the walnuts, sugar and raisins in a bowl and boil the wine over them.
You can make the poppy seed filling in the same way.
Divide the dough into 2-3 portions to make it easier to work with. Roll it out until it is about 4 mm thick and cut it into squares of about 10 x 10 cm.
Put the filling in the centre of each square, fold the right and left sides in slightly, fold over the top and roll up. Make sure the fold is on the bottom.
Pinch the tops slightly with two fingers and brush with beaten egg.
Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake at medium heat (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

INSTRUCTIONS
To make the dough, knead all the ingredients, knead, divide into 5 equal parts, wrap them in cling film and put them in the fridge.
Place the ingredients for the sourdough filling in a saucepan and cook for about 7-8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Measure the ingredients for the nut filling into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Grate the peeled apples and simmer with the other ingredients for about 8 minutes, just long enough to blend the flavours.
Take a ball of dough out of the fridge, roll it out a few mm larger than the size of the tin, lay it on the back of a baking tray, prick it with a fork in a few places and bake it in a 180°C oven for about 8 minutes, then bake 2 more sheets in the same way. These will be placed between the moist fillings so they don't get soggy.
Roll out the remaining 2 dough balls. Slightly grease the tin, lay a raw pastry sheet in it, prick it with a fork, spread the poppy seed filling evenly over it, then a baked sheet, then the walnut filling, another baked sheet, plum jam, after the third baked sheet, only the apple filling remains, and finally the whole thing is sealed with the remaining raw pastry.
Prick the dough with a fork in a few places, brush with a lightly beaten egg and bake in a 180 degree oven until golden brown and strong, because you'll have to wait until the next day to slice and taste!
