The Orthodox celebrate Honey Savior on August 14, as beekeepers collect honey on this day. Poppy ripens by this day, therefore this holiday is also popularly called Macovey. There should be honey and poppy dishes on the festive table. For those who do not know what to cook, we offer several simple and delicious recipes with photos.

Shuliki with poppy seeds

Shuliks can be prepared for Honey Spas. These are honey cakes drenched in poppy milk, and such a simple but tasty dish is traditional for Ukrainian cuisine. In the old days, shuliks were lean, but we offer a recipe with a photo of pastries on sour cream, with the addition of eggs and butter.

Ingredients for the dough:

• 2 eggs;
• 200 g sugar;
• 100 g butter;
• 60 g of honey;
• 100 ml sour cream;
• 1 tsp soda;
• 450 g flour.

To fill:

• 650 ml of water;
• 150 g poppy seeds;
• 130 g of sugar.

Preparation:

Pour sugar into a bowl of eggs and beat until fluffy white

• Pour in melted butter, honey and sour cream, stir until smooth.
• Add soda slaked with vinegar and add flour in portions, knead the thick dough.

Grease the form with butter, sprinkle with flour, spread the dough, distribute it evenly over the entire surface with a spoon

We send it to an oven preheated to 180 ° C and bake until golden. We take out the finished cake and cool it completely. Cut the cooled cake into small pieces

For pouring, pour the poppy into a bowl, pour boiling water over it for 20 minutes

Drain the water from the poppy and grind it in a mortar (you can use a blender)

Pour sugar to the poppy seeds, pour in chilled water and stir

Put pieces of cake in the resulting filling, mix gently and give them time to soak

For a good pouring of water, there should not be a lot, because the main flavoring element is the juice that the poppy releases when rubbed. But to find out if the poppy has been pounded correctly is very simple - the mass should turn white

Delicious honey muffins

On Honey Spas, it is not necessary to set a hearty table, but you can just have a cup of tea with your family with honey cakes. The proposed recipe with a photo is not complicated, but the baked goods are moderately moist and very tasty. So let's start cooking.

Honey Spas coincides with the beginning of the Dormition Fast, so this baking recipe is suitable for those who are fasting.
