- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (90.6 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten, nut, sesame
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Sesame seeds
- 20 g Almonds
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Sugar, powdered
- 0.3 g Cinnamon
- 0.3 g Anise seed
Method
- Toast the flour in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 6-8 minutes until fragrant and light golden; be careful, as it can scorch quickly.
- In a separate pan, toast the sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes and the almonds for 3-4 minutes, each until golden, then grind both to a fine, slightly oily meal.
- Mix the toasted flour, ground sesame and almonds with the powdered sugar, cinnamon and anise.
- Melt the butter and work it into the mixture until it comes together into a rich, slightly crumbly paste.
- Serve at room temperature, either shaped into small mounds or eaten with a spoon; sellou keeps for weeks in a sealed container.
