Great old fashion recipe,but if you want it a little bit sweeter and more modern in taste,(like the canned poppy seed) all you need to do is add corn syrup.I made a double batch and added 1/2 a cup. Adding honey also makes it great too!THRILLED with this recipe either way!
I used this recipe for kolache and it turned out great! My husband is Czech and he said it was just how it's supposed to be.
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I live in Northern Canada and cannot find prepackaged poppy seed filling to make for kolaches. I'm am eternally greatful!
FABULOUS!! Having many exchange students in the house over the past few years from all over Europe this filling reminded them all of grandma back home. Thanks Hepzibah!
This recipe is perfect. Much better than canned poppy seed filling. I didn't change a thing. I combined the filling with crushed walnuts. I made a sweet dough and rolled the filling up in the dough to make my family's traditional Christmas poppy seed rolls.
Two magic words: Lemon Zest. It needs lemon zest in it.Poppy needs lemon zest. Try it it will be even better!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I know longer can get fresh ground poppy seeds and I find that the canned version bakes too from the corn syrup. This is perfect. The only difference I make is to add grated lemon zest--about 1/8 cup.
I tried it twice. I did not get expected results. Instead of becoming thick and coating a spoon, the mixture curdled, like very sour milk. Both times, I added the poppy seeds to the curdled mess, and then blended the curds with a hand mixer on high speed. The filling was then used in a roll-up roll. 35 minutes at 350 degrees, and the filling had somehow thickened so it stayed perfectly in place when the roll was cut. It is absolutely the best poppy seed filling I have ever had.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I can't get Solo brand in Northern Alberta so have to make from scratch. I changed it a tiny bit. I was out of eggs so I used 4 tablespoons of arrow root flour instead. The food processor took time to grind the poppyseed up but eventually worked well. This is by far better than the canned. I'm never going to miss it again. I'm so very happy right now.
