I am sending this post to participate the event Think Spice Think Poppy hosted by both Radhika Vasanth@Food for 7 Stages of Life and Sunita@Sunitabhuyan.
Poppy seed is used as an ingredient in many foods and to make poppyseed oil. The tiny kidney-shaped seeds are harvested from seed pods of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), and have been cultivated by various civilizations for thousands of years. They are used whole or ground, often as a topping or filling in various baked goods. Wikipedia

- In your stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the egg whites and pinch of salt until foamy, gradually add the sugar and continue beating until soft peaks appear.
- Fold in the poppy mixture in two additions until your get a slow moving batter. Fill a pastry bag with the batter and pipe small amounts of batter 3 cm in diameter, 2 cm apart. Leave to rest for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 170C/340F and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and cool completely on rack. Spread the poppy fix on one shell and sandwich with another one.

Hey, the previous comment is not from Celia, that's my child. It's from Carmenpiva, from "Comer Guapamente". There's something wrong somewhere with the profile.

These look so perfect Angie! And so scrumptious! I love poppy seeds. I couldn't find them in any of the markets in my town! I have to mail order them.
Angie, these look so cute, too pretty to be popped into the mouth!
Thank you, my friends, for taking time to reply to my recipe! You guys rock!
@Anncoo: I usually cut down the quantity (from 20%-50%) of sugar and butter when comes to baking certain types of cakes and cookies. But haven't tried it with macarons, because I am afraid they wouldn't come out the same.
@Carmen:Poppy fix is a poppy filling mainly made with ground poppy.
Angie, these macarons looks great..great idea to use ground poppy . I have yet to try making them..I feel intimidated :(
Your macarons look great!
those macrons are pretty!! great job angie!!
cheers!!
poppy macaroons are perfect! Great job on the piping!
The macrons look super.
I was not able to check macrons and several other dishes prepared by you as I got a bit lazy now a days.
After having motherly food and sitting idle at home I became lazy. I am thinking of writing and blogging for long but could not find the time for it.
I hope I will be active again.
Your macarons look fantastic!! Love the addition of poppy seeds.
They look so slovely with the little black spots!
Cool, the first time I see Macarons with poppy, they are very successful and u did a great job! Congrats! I have not tried making macarons yet, seems very challenging. Personally they are rather sweet for me but I will make them when I can prepare for a larger gp.
Wow, these poppy beauties makes me drool Angie. Perfect for this Christmas!!!

Great job! I have not yet tried macarons - but I wouldn't have thought to do poppy ones! How creative.
What a great idea, using poppyseeds in macarons! Reminds me of a Hungarian poppyseed pastry a friend of mine makes.
