Instructions
Grind the poppy seed in a coffee grinder.
Combine poppy seed and milk in a bowl and let soak for at least one hour. If you soak and cook the seeds long enough, you won't need to use the flour.
If you are using the flour, mix it with the sugar and stir it into the poppy seed mix. Otherwise just add the sugar.
Heat in the microwave or on the stove, stirring often. When thickened, add the syrup. Continue to heat it. Add the butter, vanilla, and the raisins if using those.
