These buttery rounds sprinkled with poppy seeds are a beautiful contrast in taste and appearance to the usual Christmas nut-and-fruit confections. A poppyseed sweet, of which these Ciastka Z Makiem are an example, is traditionally served at a Polish Wigilia with the fruit compote.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 5 hard cooked egg yolks
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Glaze
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds

Preparation

Dough: Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla and lemon rind. Press egg yolks though a sieve and add to creamed mixture along with flour and salt ; mix well. Shape into ball; wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour.

Using pastry cloth and rolling pin with cover, roll out dough to1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness; cut into rounds using a fluted 1-3/4 inch (4 cm} cutter. Arrange on 2 greased baking sheets.

Glaze: Whisk together egg white and water. Brush some over each cookie and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds. Bake in 350°F (180C) oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on racks and store in airtight container(s).
