Papanasi with poppy seeds - a quick and delicious dessert Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total: 45 minutes Number of servings: 4 Welcome to the savory world of papanasi with poppy seeds! These fluffy, aromatic, and slightly crunchy papanasi are a traditional Romanian dessert, perfect to be enjoyed at any time of the day. I will show you step by step how to prepare them, so you can achieve a perfect result, with a wonderful texture and unforgettable taste. Ingredients: - 500 g potatoes - 250 g cottage cheese (well drained) - 1 egg - 2 tablespoons of flour - 2 tablespoons of semolina - 50 g sugar - a pinch of salt - 3 tablespoons of poppy seeds (for flavor and decoration) - oil for frying - sour cream and jam for serving (optional) Step 1: Preparing the potatoes Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 25 minutes or until they become soft. Check occasionally with a fork; if it goes in easily, the potatoes are ready. Step 2: Mashing the potatoes Once the potatoes are boiled, drain them well and mash them using a potato masher or a blender. Make sure there are no lumps left, as this will affect the texture of the papanasi. Step 3: Mixing the ingredients In a large bowl, add the potato puree, cottage cheese, egg, flour, semolina, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you get a homogeneous composition. It is important that all ingredients are well integrated so that the papanasi have a uniform texture. Step 4: Forming the papanasi Take a portion of the mixture and form balls the size of a golf ball. Flatten them slightly and make a dent in the middle to give them the characteristic shape of papanasi. Finally, sprinkle the poppy seeds on each papanas to add a flavorful note and an attractive appearance. Step 5: Frying the papanasi In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, fry the papanasi on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even frying. Step 6: Serving After the papanasi are fried, take them out onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serve them warm, alongside sour cream and fruit jam (preferably cherry or blackberry) to complement their flavor. Useful tips: - Use well-drained cottage cheese to avoid excess water in the mixture. - You can experiment with different types of poppy seeds or even add vanilla essence to the mixture for a more refined taste. - This dessert is perfect to be prepared in advance; keep it in the fridge and reheat it in a pan to restore its crunchy texture. Papanasi with poppy seeds are a simple yet impressive dessert, ideal for bringing a touch of Romanian tradition to every meal. These fluffy delights are perfect for moments of indulgence or to impress guests. Enjoy!
