Happy Easter!
Hope you get to spend this (rainy) long weekend with your loved ones! Egg hunting, turkey roasting, gathering, sharing laugh and love.
I miss chocolate egg hunting. The boys are too old for it now, so we didn't do nothing special this long weekend. I will be back working tomorrow, while boys have 1 more day off from school. Lucky them 馃槉
Today's food share is a super easy one. It is Hungarian. I would call it dessert as it is sweet, however, in Hungary, they would serve it anytime, sometimes as dinner, but mostly after dinner.
1-2 c poppy seeds
10 buns (dinner buns)
4 c milk
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1/2 c sugar
Raisins (optional, but would be so nice to add!)
In Hungary, they use what they would call kifli. A type of bread that is shaped crescent but the texture is more to dinner rolls. For this dish, if kifli is not available, dinner buns/rolls work just fine 馃槈
If you have raisins, before preparing and making the dish, soak the raisin first in warm water or sugar vanilla solution, or can be in rhum.
Now let's make this "dessert" 馃槈
First, grind fine the poppy seeds, then place it in a large bowl. (If you are using raisin, once softened, add then into the bowl too).
Moving on to the buns. Slice, not so thinly, then set aside.
In a pot, pour the milk, add in sugar and vanilla essence. Bring to simmer, and take off pot from the stove.
Quickly dip bread slices into milk, then place them into the large bowl.
Mix well to combine.
Serve it immediately, or at room temperature, or chilled is the way I prefer.
Bon appetit!
