    • Preparation time: 20 minutes
    • Cooking time: 10 minutes
    • Total time: 30 minutes

    Makes: 20

    Ingredients

    30g sesame seeds
    120g plain flour
    1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
    1⁄2 tsp baking powder
    60g salted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
    60g light brown muscovado sugar
    3 tbsp golden syrup
    2 tbsp mixed chopped peel
    40g pine nuts

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Whizz the sesame seeds in a food processor for 15 seconds to release the oils. Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder, then whizz for a few seconds. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, syrup, mixed peel and pine nuts, and pulse until the mixture just comes together.

    2. Roll the dough into 20 walnut-sized balls. Place about 3cm apart on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden. As soon as they come out of the oven, press the end of a skewer along the radius of each biscuit to make a slit. Cool completely on the baking sheets, then hang on mugs of tea and dunk to your heart’s content.
