Vareniki with poppy seeds
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Of course, I've eaten dumplings with various fillings before, but I had never tried, let alone prepared, poppy seed dumplings at home, so this recipe was a real discovery for me. The filling pleasantly surprised and delighted me—it's so unique that it makes the dish absolutely delicious. The whole family was thrilled with these dumplings, even my husband liked them, so I'll definitely be making them more often. Now I'll tell you how. Serve hot.
