Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, salt, sugar and sesame powder together to combine.
Pour half of the oil into the sesame mixture and mix together. I use hands to do it.
Pour the remaining oil and continue mixing and kneading till the (icing) sugar has melted.
Roll a ball of 10g sesame paste and if it doesn’t crumble, your paste is ready. Otherwise, add a bit of oil till the sesame ball doesn't crumble when you roll it.
Place sesame ball on baking tray.
Brush with egg yolk.
Sprinkle some sesame seed on top.
Bake in a preheated oven for 13mins at 180C till egg yolk glazing turn lightly golden brown.
Cool on rack and store in air tight container.

Note:
If you use castor sugar, you will be able to able to eat into some sugar giving it the crunchy feel. Use icing sugar instead if you prefer it to be smooth.
