Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 60 ml cold water
- 1 tsp salt
- 50 grams white sesame seeds
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the rolled dough into desired shapes, such as rectangles or squares.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each pastry shape with the egg wash.
Sprinkle a generous amount of white sesame seeds over the brushed pastries.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
