Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- 2 Make dough: Combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter and sugar in a large bowl; stir well. Whisk in sour cream until smooth. Sift in flour and baking powder over batter. Knead until a smooth, stiff dough forms.
- 3 Using the meat grinder attachment of an electric stand mixer, pass handfuls of dough through the grinder. Spread ground dough bits evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- 5 Beat 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add dulce de leche and beat until well combined. Add cooled cake pieces to caramel mixture and fold in with a spatula until well combined.
- 6 Mound mixture onto a serving plate; using buttered hands, form into an ant hill. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
