Poppy Seed Pie
Description
The recipe won't take much time. In my kitchen, I always have a couple of eggs, butter, and a cup of flour, and poppy seeds are available at the nearest store. I add lemon zest to the cake; you can substitute it with orange zest or omit it altogether. The cake batter is liquid, so there's no need to knead it or let it rest—just mix and bake immediately. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
