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.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 10-inch square pie crust dough (thawed if frozen) measure after rolling
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for dusting
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds any color

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with non-stick paper or silicone mat (skip this if using a non-stick cookie sheet).
  • Lightly flour your work surface with flour.
  • Place the thawed pie crust dough on the floured surface and sprinkle lightly with flour.
  • Roll the pie crust dough to a quarter of an inch thick (mine were a bit thinner).
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut out two-inch discs from the rolled dough.
  • Carefully transfer the cut out discs to the prepared cookie sheet, about two inches apart.
  • Brush the cut out dough with honey then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake at 350F for 12 minutes.
  • Cool slightly before serving.

    No, Filipino adobo is an not adaptation of Mexican adobo. I’ll explain why. Plus, there’s a recipe for a not-your-usual Filipino pork or chicken adobo.
