Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 6 cups flour
- 1 3/4 c honey
- 2 c poppy seeds
- 1 c milk
- 1/2 c shortening
- 1/2 c raisins
- 1 ts baking powder

* Use your food processor to grind the poppy seeds for the filling. Combine 5 cups flour, salt and baking powder; mix well. Make a well in the center and add shortening, 4 eggs and honey. Work together until dough is formed, adding flour as needed. Roll out thinly and cut into 4-inch circles. For filling, grind poppy seeds. Combine with milk and honey. Cook over low heat until thickened. Add lemon peel and raisins; cool. Place 1 tablespoon filling on each dough circle; fold up three sides and press together into triangles leaving tops somewhat open. Beat remaining egg and brush over dough. Bake at 350 degrees 20 minutes or until browned.
