Method
- 1
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring, until they smell nutty and begin to pop. Tip onto a plate to cool.
3 min - 2
Toast the rice flour in the same pan over a low heat for 2 minutes until it smells biscuity and is just pale gold. Cool.
- 3
Grind the cooled seeds in a spice grinder until they are a fine, slightly oily powder. Do not go on too long or it turns to paste.
- 4
Mix the sesame powder, rice flour and salt in a bowl. Add the honey and sesame oil and rub together with your fingers until it holds when squeezed. Add the water only if it stays crumbly.
- 5
Press about 1 tablespoon of the mix firmly into a small mould, or roll into balls and flatten with a fork or the base of a glass.
- 6
Turn out and leave to firm up for 30 minutes. Store in a tin for up to a week.
