Poppyseed filling
Poppyseeds, ground if possible 1 cup (135g)
Honey 0.5 cup (155g)
Milk 0.5 cup (120g)
Lemon juice 0.5ea (5g)
Sugar 1 tablespoon (5g)
Salt 1/3 tsp (2g)
Vanilla extract 0.5 tsp (2g)

Bring to a boil all ingredients and simmer for about 5 minutes, it should thicken to the point where it leaves a trail as you drag the spatula through the pot.


Dough:
AP flour 2 cups (250g)
unsalted butter 0.5 cup (112g)
Sugar 0.5 cup (100g)
Eggs 1.5 each (75g)
Baking powder 3/4 tsp (3g)
Salt 1/2 tsp (2g)
Lemon zest 0.5 ea

Sugar dough
Cream the softened butter (leave it out at room temp several hours before) and sugar. Alternate adding the eggs and the dries (AP flour, baking powder, salt). Mix till combined, dont overmix otherwise the dough will be tight and chewy. Roll it out to a thickness of 0.5 centimeter (or 0.15 inch), say twice as a thick as a silver dollar. Cutout to the size as needed (here 4”in diameter). Folding is important to avoid the dough opening while baking. Fold the right side so it overlaps on the left and from the bottom alternate so that on one side it is folded under the left side, and then folded on top of the right side. The final picture should give you an idea. Pinch shut.
Bake 335F, 13-15mins.
Enjoy!
