I thought this was a little bland. I did add some cinnamon to the mix before baking. I think it will taste better with honey drizzled on top. Made for Photo Tag

Sorry, this one didn't work out for me. I followed it exactly, using wildflower honey and sesame seeds ground with my mortar and pestle. I'm wondering if I should have used Tahini? Mine was burned and dry at 30 minutes and had an odd flavor. Made for the ZWT4.

This is very unique but very good! It wasn't difficult at all to make and a great treat. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
