Directions

1. Step

Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, flour, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the vinegar, orange blossom water, egg yolk, and water. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Roll out the dough and cut into small rounds, shaping them by hand as needed.

2. Step

Heat sunflower oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the dough pieces until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Warm the honey slightly and dip the fried cake bites into it, ensuring they are well coated. Garnish with chopped nuts if desired. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
