Honey sesame biscuits

Published: 03.09.2013 » Last updated: 12.09.2022

Year-end holidays often involve baking pies. If you have excess pie crust dough, here's an idea about what you can do with it.

Honey sesame biscuits

When making pies, it rarely happens that the pie crust dough will be exactly enough. The edges are trimmed and the trimmings become an excess. I never throw them away. I re-roll any excess into a disc, wrap it in cling film and keep it in the freezer for other uses such as…

In this recipe, excess pie crust dough is rolled thin, brushed with honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds to make these honey sesame biscuits. They are delicious.

The number of biscuits you will be able to make depends on the amount of excess pie crust dough you have. Mine was a little less than ten inches square after rolling.

The amount of honey and sesame seeds you will need depends on how many biscuits you can cut out from the dough.

Subtly sweet. The nutty aroma and flavor of the sesame seeds give these honey and sesame seed biscuits a good depth of flavor. Serve with coffee or tea.

    A few readers have emailed asking me to post recipes for Lent, and I tell them there is NO need for NEW recipes. Instead, they should try digging into the seafood, mushrooms and tofu recipe archives.
