My grandma’s recipe, no cooking

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly, and you’re done! No cooking, no semolina, and no custard powder required. This poppy seed filling can be used to make poppy seed rolls, fill yeast, shortcrust, or quark-oil pastry, and so on. Grandma used shortcrust pastry, rolled it out, and then baked it. We prefer the yeast dough version (make sweet yeast dough, roll it out, spread with the poppy seed filling, roll it out, and then bake it for about 30 minutes at 175°C). Arrack, by the way, is no longer available in small bottles, but you can still find this baking flavoring in slightly larger ones in well-stocked supermarkets. Of course, you don’t use the whole bottle, just a portion. Rum flavoring works, too.
