Lokshyna z makom is a classic dessert served at Ukrainian Christmas Eve (Sviata Vecheria) meals, combining boiled thin noodles with poppy seeds crushed with honey. Even without added sugar, it has a natural sweetness.
Soak the poppy seeds in hot water for 30 minutes to soften them.
Boil the thin noodles in salted water for the time listed on the package, then drain.
Drain the poppy seeds and crush them with the honey and dried currants in a mortar or food processor until you have a thick paste.
Mix the hot noodles with the poppy seed paste and butter, and serve warm.
If you crush the poppy seeds without soaking them, they will remain gritty and will not release their full flavor; do not skip soaking them in hot water. Allergens: wheat (gluten) and dairy (butter).
