Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Mix in the toasted sesame seeds evenly.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract together.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Lightly flour your work surface, then roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness.

Step 8

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden at the edges.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the biscuits as they are, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
