     15 g  (2 tb/2 sachets) yeast
    350 ml (13 fl oz) warm water
      2 lg Eggs
    100 g  (4 oz) sugar

    100 g  Melted butter

    100 g  (4 oz) poppy seeds
    100 ml (4 fl) oz water
    100 g  (4 oz) sultanas

MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
      2 tb Honey
      2 ts Warm water
 
  These are the classic triangular Purim biscuit that are
  filled with poppy seeds, prunes or apricot preserves.
  Recipes vary quite considerably from being cocktail size
  to being large and heavy. They can either be made with
  sweet yeast dough or biscuit pastry: it just depends on
  your preference and family tradition.
  
  Mix the yeast with the 2 tablespoons of the sugar, salt
  and 100ml of the warm water. Leave for 10 minutes until
  the yeast starts to foam.
  
  Whisk the eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla essence. Using
  a dough hook add the flour and yeast mixture.
  
  Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and well
  combined. This will take about 5 minutes in the food
  mixer.
  
  Cover and leave to rise so that it is double in size.
  This will take approximately 2 hours.
  
  Roll out the dough so that it is 1 cm (1/ 2") thick and
  7 cm (3") rounds.
  
  For the filling put all the ingredients in a saucepan
  and simmer until thickened and the liquid has been
  absorbed. This will take about 5 minutes.
  
  Put a tablespoon of poppy seed filling in the centre of
  each round.
  
  Fold over the edges to form 3-cornered little cakes.
  Glaze the top with warm honey.
  
  Set the oven @ 180ºC/350ºF/Gas mark 4.
  
  Leave to rise for 30 minutes.
  
  Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  
  To serve, dust with icing sugar just before serving.
  
  Serves: 20
