Black Sesame Biscuits: A Simple Recipe Guide

Black sesame biscuits, with their nutty aroma and crisp texture, are a delightful treat. Here’s an easy recipe to make them at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup black sesame seeds (ground or whole)

- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

- ¼ cup granulated sugar

- 1 large egg

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

- Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, ground black sesame seeds, sugar, and salt.

3. Combine wet ingredients: Beat the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.

4. Combine: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If using whole black sesame seeds, fold them in now.

5. Shape dough: Roll into 1-inch balls, place on the baking sheet, and flatten slightly with a fork.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Variations: Add chocolate chips, matcha powder, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these homemade biscuits with tea or coffee!
