Does Mohnzelten say anything to you? 🙂
Mohnzelten is a speciality of the Waldviertler region in the state of Lower Austria.
Just potato dough with a poppy seed filling.
As I always say, simple but really delicious! 🙂

Mohnzelten, for picnics and snacks on the road.

We have poppy seeds in different recipes from time to time, not just because they’re healthy, but they taste so good too.
