Fany Gerson, the Mexican confectioner best known for her paletas (frozen fruit pops), is having a Cronut moment. She is frying and filling hamantaschen-shaped doughnuts for Purim, which starts the evening of March 20. The feather-light yeast-raised doughnuts are triangular and come filled with strawberry or blueberry jams, lemon curd with poppy seeds or a thick honey-nut mixture. “The fillings are not traditional, though I did use poppy seeds,” Ms. Gerson said.
