Ingredients
Dough
2¼ cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
200 grams of cold margarine

Poppy filling
1 spoon honey
½ cup sugar
¼ cups water
1cups grounded poppy seed
1 tablespoon lemon peel
¼ cup raisins

Instructions:
Poppy filling
Melt the sugar, water, and honey in a pot till the sugar has melted.  Add the poppy seeds and cook for one minute.  Then add the lemon peel and raisins.  Let the filling cool down till the dough is ready.

Dough
Mix together all of the dough ingredients with a mixer for making the dough. Divide the dough into two balls.  Roll out each ball so that it forms a sheet that is 3 centimeters thick and then cut out circles using a glass.  Put a teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each of the circles and make a triangle out of each circle.  Pinch the corners of the triangle tightly.  Bake till brown at a high temperature for 15-20 minutes.
