Czech Poppy Seed Cookies

 

Dough:

1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

 

Filling:

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon honey

1 cup ground poppy seeds

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon ground allspice

 

Make the dough: With an electric mixer, beat together

the butter, sugar, egg and sour cream in a large bowl.

Mix in the flour, salt and lemon zest to make a stiff

dough. (The dough may be made ahead and refrigerated

covered, for up to two days.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a

baking sheet. Make the filling: Bring all of the

filling ingredients to a boil in a sauce pan. Reduce

the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes,

stirring frequently, until the sugar and honey are

well dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to

cool slightly.

Roll out the dough on a floured board in a rectangle

1/3-inch thick. Spread the poppy seed filling on the

dough and roll the rectangle from the long side as you

would a jelly roll. Bake the roll on the baking sheet

for 40 to 45 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove

from the oven, let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and slice

while still warm into about 24 cookies.

Yields 24 cookies.

This reminds me....years ago we had a Ukranian friend who would bring over

'poppyseed cake.' I'm still trying to find just the right recipe. Any ideas?
