"Simple and delicious. This is actually a pull-apart "bread". Lemon and poppy seeds are always a good combo. Throw in cream cheese and sugar, and you have a definite winner!"

This recipe was fantastic! The taste was similar to cheese danish. I'm pretty sure that my family will request this often! I baked them in my cast iron skillet, so they browned nicely and stayed warm longer too. Thanks for the recipe!
