By Amy Givens-Syiek

The dough - Al ‘ajeen Divide into 4 equal pieces.

Sesame Seed sweet mixture

4 tablespoons of oil, butter, or ghee (1-2 tablespoon for each pie)

4 tablespoons of *sugar (1 tablespoon for each pie)

*honey makes a nice substitute if your off white sugar

4 tablespoons of* uncooked sesame seeds (1 tablespoon for each pie)

*I roasted mine quickly and thought they had a nice nutty flavor

Yields 4 pies

1- Roll out the prepared dough into a flat disc.

2- Spread oil or butter on dough. Cover with sugar.

3- Roll dough into a pencil-like or thin rope-like shape.

4- Roll the dough into a swirl, snail-like shape.

5- Dip the dough into sesame seeds.

6- It is preferable to cook this pie in the conventional cooking oven because the sesame seeds will burn on the griddle or convex disk.

7- Serve at room temperature.
