Yield Makes about 60 wafers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup very fresh sesame (benne) seeds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup cold lard or vegetable shortening
1/4 cup whole milk
coarse salt for sprinkling wafers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow baking pan spread seeds evenly and toast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Cool seeds.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and table salt. With your fingertips or a pastry blender blend in lard or shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add seeds and milk, stirring until a soft dough is formed. Divide dough in half. Keeping remaining piece of dough wrapped in plastic wrap, roll out 1 piece between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8 inch thick (about an 8 1/2-inch square) and remove top sheet of plastic wrap. With a sharp knife cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares, reserving scraps. Peel squares off plastic wrap and arrange about 1/2 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Roll out and cut remaining piece of dough in same manner. Reroll reserved scraps and cut in same manner.
  • Bake wafers in batches in middle of oven until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle wafers with coarse salt and transfer to a rack to cool. Wafers may be made 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight container at cool room temperature.

These wafers are a great way to use up leftover benne seeds. I always have a few tablespoons left over after I make benne seed brittle, and these wafers are the perfect way to use them up.
