Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Spread 200 g sesame seeds over a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Toast in the oven for 5 minutes.

Leave to cool. Keep the paper; we'll be using it again in stage 8.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Put into a mixer bowl: 500 g flour, 240 g butter, 200 g caster sugar, 100 g egg, 4 pinches salt, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 4 g baking powder.

Add the cooled, toasted sesame seeds.

Stage 3

Start the mixer...

Stage 4 - 7 min.

...and knead until evenly mixed.

Stage 5 - 2 hours

Flatten the dough out into disc, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

All this can be done the day before and left overnight in the fridge.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Roll out the really cold dough with a rolling pin, not too thinly, about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Cut into strips just over an inch (3 cm) wide.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Cut across the strips to create the biscuits, about 2 inches (5 cm) long here. Sit these on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Tip: reuse the paper from toasting the sesame seeds in Step 1.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Glaze the tops of the biscuits using a brush.

Stage 10 - 25 min.

Bake for about 25 minutes.

Do watch towards the end of cooking; the biscuits should be golden brown but not overcooked.

Stage 11

Leave to cook on a wire rack.

Remarks

The sesame oil gives a real lift to these cookies. You can boost this by adding a little more and reducing the butter by the equivalent amount.

Keeping

Several days in an airtight tin.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
