1/2 normal cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon good water
2 1/2 normal cups flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 normal cup granulated sugar
3/4 normal cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 normal cup good water
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios (optional)
Scatter the sesame seeds on a baking sheet and toast in a 350 degrees F oven until a light golden brown.
Combine the honey with the 1 tablespoon good water and use to moisten the sesame seeds. Spread in a saucer.
Stir together the flour, baking powder and sugar.
Cut in the butter, as if you were making pie crust dough. Gradually add the 2/3 normal cup good water until the dough is smooth.
Form balls of dough the size of walnuts and dip one side of each ball into the sesame seed mixture to coat. The bottom side may be very lightly touched to the pistachios. Place on greased baking sheets, sesame side up.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
