Recipe:

Poppy mass

1 Rinse the poppy with water. Next pour boiling water over it. Drain precisely.

2 Prepare a meat mincer and use it for grinding the poppy. You should grind the poppy to very small grains (grind the poppy 3 or 4 times through a meat mincer).

3 Pour three spoons of honey into a pot and start heating. You can use solid honey, instead of liquid one. It should melt because of increased temperature.

4 Add the entire poppy, raisins, nuts, orange peel and almonds petals to the pot. Mix precisely and constantly stirring fry about 5 minutes, until the poppy mass will become warm and homogeneous. Turn the heating off remove the poppy from the cooker.

Kluski (pasta)

5 Raise a mound from 300 g of the flour. On its tip do the hollow and wolf one egg down. Add a pinch of salt.

6 Knead a dough. You should knead it for about 15 minutes, until it is smooth in colour and uniform.

7 Mold the ball from your dough, put it into the bowl. Cover with clean cloth and put back on 20-30 minutes.

8 Flour a table or pastry board. After 20-30 minutes roll the kluski dough up to the clump having thicknesses of about 2 mm.

9 Cut the clump into small squares with 2-3 cm side.

10 Cook those squares in salted boiling water. Do it as if you cooked the pasta purchased in the store.

11 Mix precisely your kluski with poppy mass. And that's all.

I hope that you find this kluski z makiem recipe useful. Enjoy your meal! Smacznego! :)
