Shulyky (Ukrainian: Шулики), shulyaky [1] also lamantsi [2] is a traditional Ukrainian dish usually eaten during the Makoviy or Spas holiday [1]. It is a wheat-based flatbread cut into small pieces that is topped with diluted honey and poppy seeds.[3]
Overview
[edit]The dough is typically made with flour, egg, water and washed poppy seeds. The poppy seeds are may be ground in a makitra. It is then baked in an oven and topped with a honey-poppy seed mixture.
The dough for the shulyky was made lean because there was a two-week fast on Spas.
History
[edit]A similar dish of unleavened bread with honey and poppy seeds is mentioned in the Deeds of Theodosius of Pechersk, dating from the 12-13th century.[4]
Shulyky are mantioned in Ivan Kotlyarevsky's Eneida, as well as in works by Hryhorii Kvitka-Osnovianenko. A recipe of shulyky was recorded by Mykola Markevych in the mid-19th century.[4]
