Poppy Seeds Filling Recipe
Description
The Poppy Seeds Filling Recipe combines ground poppy seeds with a gently cooked mixture of milk, sugar, unsalted butter, beaten eggs, and a pinch of salt. The method involves slowly dissolving sugar in warm milk and butter, then whisking in eggs to thicken the mixture over low heat without scrambling. Once thickened to a consistency like condensed milk, ground poppy seeds are stirred in and the filling is cooled to room temperature.
This filling's texture is smooth and creamy yet thick enough to hold shape, making it versatile for use in various pastries or simply as a spread. The poppy seeds provide a subtle nutty and slightly earthy flavor that differentiates it from standard cream fillings.
After cooling, the filling can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, allowing for convenient prep ahead. It enhances baked goods with a traditional poppy seed component or can simply add richness to bread or toast.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup poppy seeds
- 1 cup milk
- 4 oz butter unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 egg beaten
Instructions
- Grind the poppy seeds in a mill or coffee grinder.
- Combine the milk, butter, salt, and sugar in a saucepan. Turn the heat to low and stir the mixture often until the sugar dissolves.
- Slowly, whisk in the eggs and continue to stir the mixture until it begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes (it should resemble the consistency of sweetened condensed milk). Note: If you let the mixture sit too long, the eggs will cook and begin to scramble.
- Add the poppy seeds into the sauce pan and stir to combine. Remove the poppy seed filling from heat and allow it to cool at room temperature.
- Once it's completely cooled, transfer the filling to an airtight container and store it for up to a week. Enjoy it spread on toast or added to your favorite baked goods!
