  Categories: Cakes, Ethnic
       Yield: 12 Servings
  
            -NANCY DOLCEMASCOLO
       1 lb Ground poppy seeds,
       1 c  Fresh cream,
       6 tb Sugar,
       1    Strip of grated orange; or
            Lemon peel,
       3 c  Flour,
       2    Egg yolks
     1/2 c  Butter,
       1 ts Baking powder,
       2 c  Milk
  
   Method:  Make a dough with the flour, baking powder, the yolks of eggs, the
   milk, and a little sugar.  Beat well and let stand for 1/2 hour. Roll out
   to about 1/2 inch thick, cover with the poppy seeds, which have been well
   mixed with the cream, sugar, and grated peel, and bake in a moderate oven.
   
   I don't bake much, so I don't know if this is a good recipe or not. Notice
   they say moderate oven (I think that is 325-350*) and they don't say how
   long.  If you want to make this, you could go by other cake recipes that
   are similar to figure out the time. >>
