The book gives no quantities, only a soaking time of 2 hours; the amounts below are ours.

Method

5 soļi
  1. Put the poppy seeds in a bowl, cover with water and leave for 2 hours. Drain them in a fine sieve lined with muslin and throw the water away.
  2. Grind them in a mortar, a poppy-seed mill or a spice grinder, adding the milk a little at a time, until the seeds are crushed fine and the milk is grey and creamy. Pour it into a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring. Sweeten if you like.
  3. Roll out the dough as in 06-037 and cut it into broader strips, about 1 cm wide.
  4. Drop the noodles into a large pan of boiling salted water. When the water has come back to the boil a couple of times and they are tender (2–3 minutes), pour in a jug of cold water, take the pan off the heat, drain them and rinse them under cold water so they cool quickly.
  5. Put the noodles in a dish and pour the hot poppy-seed milk over them.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the dough as for macaroni, rolled out and cut into broader noodle strips, boiled until they have come up to the boil a couple of times, then cooled fast with cold water; poppy seeds soaked in water for 2 hours, drained, pounded in a mortar with milk added little by little until fine, boiled, and poured over the noodles in a dish, are the book's. The amounts, times, muslin and sweetening are ours.

Sweetness

the book adds no sugar or honey. Unsweetened poppy-seed milk tastes nutty and slightly bitter; most people today will want some sugar or honey. Similar noodle dishes with poppy seeds are still eaten across Central and Eastern Europe, usually sweetened.

Poppy seeds

buy culinary poppy seeds from a reliable food supplier. Soaking them and throwing away the water, as the book does, also washes off any residues from the seed husks.
