Instructions

  1. Toast the sesame seeds dry in a pan for 3 minutes, until lightly golden.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and half of the sesame seeds.
  3. Add the egg, melted butter and milk, then mix until you have a soft dough.
  4. Shape small dough balls by hand, about the size of a walnut.
  5. Roll each ball in the remaining sesame seeds to coat them well.
  6. Heat the oil to 170 °C and fry the fritters in small batches, 3 to 4 minutes, turning them over.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Variations and tips

Black sesame. Replace part of the white sesame with black sesame for a stronger flavor and a striking contrast.
