I think it must skip a generation bc my mom never baked anything but my Grandmother (her mother) did. Grandma’s poppyseed rolls were to die for. Like cinnamon rolls except the filling was poppyseed filling. Ever look at the list of ingredients on those so-called bakery goods at the store… you can’t even pronounce half of them.
