  2. It is desirable to sort out sesame seeds so that not a speck of dust gets in. Then fry it in a dry frying pan until a delicate peach shade. Sesame should definitely be tried when buying, so that it is fresh and not bitter! Only when the roasting does not become too golden, do it ... (The photo slightly distorts the color, and the sesame seems darker than it actually is).

  11. A mixture of flour and sesame is introduced into the egg mass in three steps. Be sure to sift! Since sesame is almost always taken in lumps... the sieve "whips" its structure. It is not recommended to take too fine a sieve, since sesame leaves are larger than flour and it will be difficult to sift them through too small a cell.

  12. The flour mixture is kneaded into the dough either with a spatula or a mixer at a minimum speed. It's more convenient for me to use a mixer... This way it turns out faster, and the dry ingredients are distributed more evenly.

  15. Spread the dough evenly over the mold. And put it in a preheated 180 degree oven. Bake cakes quickly! Literally 10 minutes... Although, considering that everyone's ovens are different, you may need a little more or a little less time. The top will be browned, check the readiness with a toothpick. The main thing is that the cakes do not dry out!
