Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry on the work surface into a 12-inch square.
- Brush with the lemon curd and sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
- Cut the pastry in half, then cut each half crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Roll up each strip into a coil. Place the coils 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Brush with the egg wash.
- Bake the cookies until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
CRISP AND SOFT POPPY SEED PINWHEEL COOKIES
Steps:
- Place poppy seeds into a pot, add milk and bring to boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for an hour. While the filling is cooking, prepare the dough. Mix the flour and yeast in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Takes about 5 min. You can also use a food processor with a dough hook. Make a ball from the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour. The filling is ready when the milk has almost all evaporated and the seeds resemble wet sand. Remove the filling from heat, add the butter and sugar. Process with a stick blender, to break the seeds. Alternatively you can use a food processor for this. Let the filling cool down to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350F. Roll the dough into 1/3 inch thick rectangle (about 20*12 inches). Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll up dough, beginning on the long (wide) edge. Pinch the seam to seal at the end of rolling. Cut into 2 inch thick rolls. Place your rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let them rise for 15 min, then brush with egg or melted butter and bake for 30 min.
