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.
