Pecan Puffs with Poppy Seeds

What would an ideal afternoon look like? Lying down on the stove and having a couple of peciválek, or potato sourdough loaves, which get their name from the fact that they rested in a bowl behind the stove during the rising process.

Ingredients:

1 kg of plain flour 500 g of potatoes 1 handful of semolina sugar 1 l milk 2 pcs oats 1 pcs drugs 1/2 pcs baking fat cubes 1 tbsp salt For coating: 1 cup of powdered sugar 1 cup of milk 2 glasses PORT WINE STUFF 2 packets ground poppy seeds For spreading: 1 cup of lard

Procedure:

  • Make a sourdough starter with yeast, sugar and lukewarm milk.
  • Into a bowl, add a little flour, sugar, salt and pour in the sourdough starter, some of the milk, grated potatoes and eggs. With a rolling pin, knead the dough and gradually add the remaining flour and milk.
  • Add the fat for baking and knead the dough thoroughly and leave it to rise in warmth for about 1 hour.
  • From the risen dough form small muffins with a diameter of about 3-4 cm and place them a little apart on a baking tray well greased with melted lard.
  • Smear each muffin around the perimeter with lard. Leave to rise for about 10 minutes and bake for 25-30 minutes at 150 °C until golden brown.
  • Prepare the fudge boiled in a little water and sugar, stirring it so that it does not burn. In a saucepan, boil a little milk with ground poppy seeds and after a while stir them into the puddings.
  • Finally, boil the baked loaves in a bowl with a cup of hot milk mixed with ground poppy seeds and puddings.
  • Recommendation:

    Since one of the key ingredients in this recipe is the puddings, we chose something very special – Plums with Port Wine from Perfectly Delicious, last year’s winner of the Regional Food in Ústí nad Labem Region. The handmade fruit spread contains only fresh apple juice and a pinch of cloves in addition to plums and port wine. By slow cooking them, a symphony of flavours has been achieved. If you have any left over during the process, you can use a few spoonfuls on pancakes, in linoleum, or with cheeses and meats.
