Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Whole wheat flour
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Erythritol (granulated sweetener)
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free option)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, erythritol, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the sesame seeds, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of the pastries later.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, egg, and milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until just combined to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of each pastry with a little milk and sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy your freshly baked sugar-free sesame pastries with your favorite spread or enjoy them plain!
