Notes

Gr8 Tips:
  1. For quick and easy poppy seed buns, split regular buns (preferably brat buns as they hold up better) and brush the outsides with a bit of melted butter. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake in a 325ºF oven for 5 minutes, or until warm.
  2. If you want to make homemade buns, give this King Arthur's recipe a try!
  3. Bright green relish can be made by adding a dash of green food coloring to your favorite sweet green pickle relish.
