Austrian poppy seed rolls
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. You can add nuts to the poppy seeds, chopped candied fruits, or dried fruits. Ready-made rolls can be dusted with powdered sugar after baking, or you can make a glaze using sour cream, cream, and lemon juice (there are other options as well). The dough can be kneaded using a bread machine or by hand. Allow enough time for the dough to rise, and your baked goods will turn out fluffy. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
