INSTRUCTIONS

Here is a recipe for Poppy Seed Moon Cake. I learned to make it from
my grandmother and mother who were from Austria-Hungary. Every family
has its own version of Mond Kuchen. These cakes predate Christianity
as the poppy was dedicated to the Moon goddess. Opium-sleep. The  seeds
are still called "Moon seeds" in german. The recipes are handed  down
by the women. The Moon cakes are now usually made around  Christmas
time when all the fancy baking is done.  Poppy seeds can be purchase in
bulk from a German Deli that  specializes in imported spices. They
should finely grind the seeds  for you. You can also grind your own
seeds in a coffee grinder. Grind  the seeds well. It will make a big
difference in the texture. You  should not use the poppy seeds that
come in small jars. They would be  too expensive and not fresh enough.
These cakes can be wrapped in foil and stored in the freezer after
they are baked. Hope you enjoy this cake. Regards, June Meyer.  Crumble
yeast in bowl, add water and sugar stirring till mixture  liquidifies.
Blend flour and butter with wire pastry blender. Mix  well, mix in
eggs, salt and yeast. Mix until dough is smooth and  leaves side of
bowl clean. DO NOT LET RISE. Divide into four portions  and roll each
out in a rectangular shape spread with filling and roll  up like Jelly
Roll. Place in greased baking pans. BAKE AT ONCE in 350  oven about 30
to 45 min. or until brown.  Poppyseed Filling Mix filling in bowl using
only 3/4 cup of boiled  milk...It should be thick. If not spreadable
use the rest of milk.  divide into 4 portions, one for each dough
rollup. Makes 4 cakes.  If you try one of my recipes please tell me
