It was in fashion to use short-cuts like a boxed cake mix and Jell-O instant pudding to save time in the kitchen but with delicious results.
The poppyseed used in this recipe gives a touch of the exotic as well as a nutty flavour and nice crunch.
Poppyseed has been used in European cuisine for centuries and introduced to Canada during immigration. It is a traditional ingredient particularly to Eastern European cultures in pastries and bagels.
In the November-December 2022 issue we investigate poppy seed production as part of Small Farm Canada’s special Remembrance Day coverage.
