- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups sifted flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup ground poppy seeds
Cream the butter, gradually adding the sugar. Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder and add to butter mixture. Pat into an 8 inch square buttered pan. (The mixture won’t hold together when you’re handling it, but will when baked.)
Beat the egg whites until they begin to stiffen, and then beat in the brown sugar. Fold in the poppy seeds. Spread over the dough.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until delicately browned and set. Cool and cut into squares.
