Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3 large eggs
5 cups flour, all-purpose
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sesame seeds toasted

Directions

Cream butter and sugar with vanilla essence until light and fluffy.

Beat eggs, reserve 1 tablespoon for glazing and add remainder gradually to butter mixture, beating well.

Sift dry ingredients twice.

Stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk to form a soft dough.

Knead lightly until smooth. If dough is sticky, chill for 1 hour.

Scatter some sesame seeds lightly on one side of pastry board.

Shape pieces of dough into thick pencil shapes and roll onto the sesame seeds to coat lightly or according to taste.

Double over rolled dough and twist, or form into rings, figure eights or coils.

Place on greased baking sheets and glaze with reserved egg beaten with a little milk.

Bake in a moderate oven at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Sesame Roasted Mushrooms and Scallions

We just made this recipe, and it was really delicious, we had only one bunch of scallions, so we used another yellow onion as well, and we added extra 1/2 tablespoon garlic, and it was awesome, we will definitely make it again.
