Poppy Seed Pie

Ingredients

Poppy seeds 120 g

Milk 250 ml

Butter 225 g

Sugar 220 g

Eggs 3

Flour 300 g

Baking powder 2 tsp

Vanilla 1 pod

Orange zest 1 tbsp

Orange juice 4 tbsp

Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease a pie pan with butter and dust with a little flour. Heat the milk and poppy seeds in a saucepan, bringing it almost to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Beat the butter and sugar on medium speed. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.

Pour in the flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and fold in the butter-sugar mixture. Gradually pour in the cooled milk and poppy seeds. Add the orange zest and juice. Knead the dough and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Cool completely and serve.

Enjoy!
