My mother always baked these cakes for me. Makes 35

Crumble: Make a crumble from the ingredients using the dough cutter on a hand mixer. Filling: Put the poppy seed mixture in a bowl and stir in the rum raisins. Dough: Heat the milk to lukewarm. Sift the flour into a bowl, crumble the yeast into a well in the middle, sprinkle over a little sugar and mix with 3 tablespoons of lukewarm milk. Cover with flour and let rise for about 10 minutes until the flour cracks. Melt 50g of butter in the remaining milk and add to the flour along with the sugar, salt and egg. Knead into a soft dough. Then let rise a little. I then put the dough in the fridge overnight. The next day, roll it out on a work surface into a rectangle about 40 x 60cm. Cut 150g of butter into thin slices and cover half of the dough with them, starting from the short side. Fold the other half of the dough over the slices. Roll out thinly again. Fold in the two short sides to the middle and then fold in again to create four layers on top of each other. Chill for about 15 minutes. Repeat this process three times. Then halve the dough, roll out thinly (about 4-5 mm) and divide into squares about 10 x 10 cm. Place 2 teaspoons of the poppy seed mixture into the center of each square and shape into dumplings. Place the dumplings cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and flatten to create a small hollow in the center. Add crumble topping to this hollow. Brush the cakes with melted butter. Bake at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes. Tip: You can also use quark filling instead of poppy seeds.
