Ingredients

1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt

Equipment
Sauté pan
Sauce pan
Small cookie tray/tin
Parchment

Directions

Grease the small baking tray and line it with parchment.

Heat sauté pan on low and add sesame seeds to the pan. Toast the sesame seeds. They toast very quickly, so make sure not to let them burn. Set aside to cool.

Add butter to sauce pan and stir until it melts. Add honey to the butter and stir until combined. Keep stirring at low heat until it reaches a thick, syrupy, caramel consistency. This should take about 15 – 20 minutes. Mix in the toasted sesame seeds and the salt and combine.

Pour the mixture in the parchment lined tray and score it into small rectangles. Allow it to cool. Break or cut into rectangle shaped little bites that go great with coffee or tea.
