Ingredients

• 240 grams Whole wheat flour
• 120 grams Unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 50 grams Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 75 grams Erythritol (granulated sweetener)
• 1 large Egg
• 60 milliliters Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free option)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, erythritol, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Mix in the sesame seeds, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of the pastries later.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until just combined to form a soft dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thickness.

Step 8

Using a round cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the top of each pastry with a little milk and sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Step 12

Enjoy your freshly baked sugar-free sesame pastries with your favorite spread or enjoy them plain!
