To prepare dough, cream butter with sugar until blended. Add egg, vanilla and
orange juice and continue to beat until smooth. A food processor is great for
this.
Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix or process until ball of dough is
formed. Cover and chill 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, to prepare filling, place walnuts, sugar, vanilla, lemon, orange,
rum, figs, cinnamon and marmalade in food processor and pulse until chopped but
not pureed. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside in refrigerator until dough
is chilled.
Roll dough out on lightly floured board to 1/4 -inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch
circles. Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each circle. To shape
hamantaschen, first brush water around edge of circle with finger.
Pull edges of dough up to form a triangle around filling and pinch 3 corners
together, leaving small triangular opening in center. Transfer to greased cookie
sheet.
Bake at 375° F 10 to 15 minutes until tops are golden.
Note: You can fill any leftover dough with chocolate chips as a filling.
