Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl mix the soft butter, sunflower oil, yogurt and salt until well combined.
- 2
Add the flour and baking powder and bring together into a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands, without over-kneading. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- 3
Pinch off walnut-sized pieces and roll them on the counter with your palms into pencil-thin sticks about 15 cm long.
- 4
Beat the egg and brush it over the sticks, then roll them in the sesame seeds spread on a wide plate and arrange on parchment-lined trays with space between.
- 5
Bake at 180 °C for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely on the tray; they crisp up further as they cool.
