I like them too, but I'm not sure I can eat them anymore. Most of the recipes I've seen seem to call for butter, and I'm assuming any commercially-available ones would be buttery. Dairy is right out for me. *sulk*
I'd ask around to see if I could get someone to make some for me -- I can't make them myself since I not only suck at baking but my oven hasn't worked in months and my landlady won't fix it -- but I also don't know anyone who knows how. To steal sjo's phrase, Soviet Canuckistan is not a particularly "Jew-rich environment" to start with, and Whitebreadville even less so. (Which makes me, a somewhat-Hebrew-speaking goy with a Scottish last name, a real oddity.)
Um, almost no real hamantaschen recipes will call for butter - people will want to eat them after the seudah (festive meal) and traditionally festive meal means meat (I don't, but I'm just saying,that's the tradition)-no meat and milk together. In fact, I've never *seen* a recipe for hamantaschen, or for that matter oznei haman (which contrary to popular opinion, are *not* just the Israeli way of saying hamantaschen, they are their own thing, but you can only get them where there's a big persian population) which has any dairy at all - the only exception to this being the recent affection for filling them with nutella or other chocolate, which of course need not be dairy, but often is (except for nutella, which definitely is) my point being that if you want to eat them, ask for the pareve ones - which is almost all of them.
