How to make it
Toast a hundred and fifty grams of the sesame and the almonds in a dry pan and grind them to a coarse paste.
Mix the flour with the nut paste, aniseed, cinnamon, saffron, yeast and salt.
Add the melted butter, orange blossom water, vinegar and warm water and knead fifteen minutes to a smooth dough.
Rest the dough an hour under film.
Roll it thin, cut it into rectangles and make four lengthways slits in each.
Thread your fingers through alternate slits and twist each piece into a flower, pinching the ends.
Fry at 165 °C for four minutes to golden, drop them straight into warm honey for five minutes and scatter with sesame.
