SESAME WAFERS

Ingredients:
(Recipe adapted from here)

 6 tbsp sesame seeds (approx 55g)
160g light brown sugar (I reduced to 120g)
90g butter, room temp 
1 egg, beaten 
60g flour
1/4 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp vanilla extract 


Method:

1.  Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. 
2.  Prepare two baking sheets with parchment. 
3.  Spread the sesame seeds out in a dry frying pan. Toast over a medium-high heat until
     golden and starting to jump.
4.  Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. 
5.  Beat in the egg. 
6.  Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl and mix well till smooth. 
7.  Add the vanilla and toasted seeds and stir in until consistent. 
8.  Drop teaspoons of the mixture onto the parchment, leaving room for lots of spreading. 
9.  Bake for 12-13 minutes until browned. Leave to cool for 2 minutes then remove to a wire
     rack. 
10.Repeat for the rest of the mixture. They keep really well in an airtight tin.
