3/4 cup sugar

Filling
1 1/2 to 2 cups Poppy seed

A little melted butter to moisten so filling clings together
Directions:
Directions:
Filling
Grind Poppy seed, add sugar, vanilla, eggs and melted butter
Dough
Heat milk; add vanilla; not too hot or you will kill yeast
Rub together flour, sugar, salt and lard.
Add yeast and milk. Knead till you make a nice soft dough.
Let rise; punch down; let rise again (I use instant yeast so I only let rise once and then make buns)
Roll out a circle of dough; cut into 8 wedges; put in filling and roll up; pinch ends.
Place on pans. Let rise; brush with beaten eggs.
Bake 400 degrees till brownish. Can brush with brown sugar and water mixture if you like; but not necessary.
