About Poppy Seeds
Use a dry spoon or cup, fill without packing and level it. Whole seeds add small crunchy flecks to muffins; a pastry filling often needs them ground or cooked according to a separate method.
If preparing a filling, measure the dry seeds at the stage named in the recipe. Milk, sugar and other filling ingredients add weight, so prepared filling cannot be converted using the seed value.
Tips for measuring Poppy Seeds
- Check whole versus ground before measuring.
- Keep moist filling out of the dry-seed storage container.
Common mistakes
- Using sweetened poppy filling as the same ingredient as dry seeds.
