RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : YJTY Kichelach, Poppy Seed #2: Mohn - pareve
As I said I would, I got my grandmothers recipe for mohn kichelech, which sounds very similar to the request for tsibeleh kichelach. As with many grandmothers, the measurements were not exact and directions were pretty much "mix till it looks right". But my mother has been making it this way for years, and my father says it is just like his mother used to make. My mother uses a standard measuring cup for the water, and sees how the dough handles. Mohn Kichlach 2 1/4 oz poppy seeds 1/2 cup oil 2 onions, diced 2 tsp. salt (I think I add more) 1/2 tsp. pepper (ditto?) 6 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 2 glasses water Oven at 350 degrees General directions: Mix all ingredients. Roll out flat (thinner will be crisp, thicker will be doughier, slightly chewier).. Score into squares. Put on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until slightly brown. Break into pieces.
