    2 tbsp

    1.5 tsp
  • Vanillin
    1 pinch
  • Salt

Steps

  • 1. In deep ware let’s connect 4 chicken eggs and sugar.
  • 2. Whip the mixture at maximum mixer speed until gassy and light substance is obtained. This process will take approximately 7-10 minutes.

  • 5. Then add dry poppy seed to the dough and mix.

  • 7. Pour the finished dough into a heat-resistant ware. I used a silicone mold with a hole inside, it doesn't need to be previously greased with butter. If you use a glass or metal baking mold, grease it with a small amount of butter in advance.
  • 8. Send poppy seed and red currant pie to the oven pre-heated to 180 degrees. Let’s bake pie at the medium level for about 45-55 minutes. Gently remove the ready pastry from the mold, cool down to room temperature and decorate with sugar powder.
