  • Preparation: 80 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (160 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten, honey

Ingredients

  • 45 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.3 g Baking soda
  • 0.2 g Salt
  • 26 g Honey
  • 3 g Sunflower oil
  • 60 g Water
  • 25 g Poppy seeds

Method

  1. Mix the flour with the baking soda and salt, add a teaspoon of the honey, the oil and about a third of the water, and knead into a smooth, soft dough; cover and rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile pour boiling water over the poppy seeds, leave them for 15 minutes, then drain well through a fine sieve.
  3. Roll the dough out very thinly into 2 or 3 rounds and bake on a tray at 200°C for 8-10 minutes until dry and pale golden; leave to cool.
  4. Grind the drained poppy seeds in a mortar (traditionally a makitra) for 10-15 minutes, adding a few drops of the water, until they turn pale and release a white, milky liquid.
  5. Stir the rest of the honey and the remaining water, boiled and cooled, into the poppy seeds to make a runny poppy-honey milk.
  6. Break the flatbreads into bite-sized pieces, pour the poppy milk over them and leave for 30 minutes to soak and soften.
  7. Serve in a bowl; shulyky are the traditional dish of Makovei, the Honey Feast of the Saviour in August, when poppy seeds and honey are blessed.
