Rusks with poppy seeds and sesame seeds
Description
The recipe won’t take long. For the rusks, use sour cream with a high fat content—it’s less sour and thicker. If you like, add a little cinnamon or vanilla sugar to the sesame, poppy seed, and sugar mixture for fragrance. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
