Mmm Mmm Mmm.... brings back memories! Thanks for posting! I usually drizzle a powdered sugar icing on top.


Must try this--sounds like what my great-grandmother used to make. One question, though: what are the wheat groats for? texture? lightening the poppy seed mixture? Enlighten me, please.


Beautiful work, Chriesi! I can't wait til baking season begins!
