Mohnkronen – Austrian Poppy Seed Crowns
We love these poppy seed crowns! A simple yeast dough with a poppy seed filling. Very tasty!
I actually only know crowns from Austria, while snails are very widespread. Of course, you can also fill the crowns with a nut filling.
In Austria, poppy seed crowns are available in almost every bakery!
