Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) sesame flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional for a hint of sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sesame flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cubed cold butter to the flour mixture; use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and honey (if using).
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Biscuits are done when they have risen and the tops are lightly browned.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
