Poppy Seed Filling From Scratch for Silesian Poppy Seed Roll
For those who want to make this the original way, here is the original recipe from my mom's files. This makes enough for the cake recipe.
Ingredients
- 250 g Poppy Seeds
- 125 g Sugar
- 4 drops Lemon Extract
- 1 vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 50 g Butter
- 50 g Raisins vorher einweichen (soften up ahead of time by soaking in a bit of water)
- 1/8 liter hot milk
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pour hot milk over poppy seeds and then mix in all the other ingredients . The filling should be spreadable.
Notes
Mom's note- I know from home that the poppy seeds were ground or pressed. It might be better if you could grind the seeds in a clean coffee grinder before you mix the filling. I take Almond extract and no cinnamon instead of lemon, but that is a matter of taste.
