Homemade poppy seed buns
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Don't put too much poppy filling inside, otherwise it will leak out. To make the buns not only beautiful but also sweet on top, brush them with liquid honey. Otherwise, just carefully follow my recipe. These buns are perfect to take to school or work, so make plenty of them.
