- Preparation: 60 min
- Cooking: 35 min
- Makes: 1 serving (330 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 200 g Potatoes, floury (russet), raw
- 60 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Egg yolk
- 0.3 g Salt
- 20 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Poppy seeds, ground
- 15 g Icing sugar
Method
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes until tender. Peel them while hot, press them through a potato ricer and leave to cool completely (they can be cooked the day before).
- Grind the poppy seeds in a spice or coffee grinder if they are whole, and mix them with the icing sugar.
- On a floured board, work the potato quickly with the flour, egg yolk and salt into a soft, smooth dough; knead only briefly, or it turns sticky.
- Roll the dough into ropes about 1.5 cm thick, cut them into 3 cm pieces and roll each between your palms into a finger-length noodle with tapered ends.
- Cook them in batches in a large pot of gently boiling water for 3-4 minutes after they rise to the surface, then lift them out with a slotted spoon.
- Melt the butter in a wide pan and toss the šišky in it for 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the poppy seed sugar, toss to coat and serve at once, with a little more of it on top.
