     Title: MAKOSTESZTA (POPPY-SEED CAKE)
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.
