- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and toasted black sesame seeds. Tossing the sesame seeds with the flour will help them distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Cut in the Butter: Proceed with cutting the butter into the flour and sesame seed mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the Wet Ingredients: Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined.
The rest of the instructions remain the same!
Additional Tips
- Flavor Boost: For a stronger sesame flavor, you can add a few drops of sesame oil to the heavy cream (optional).
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a light honey or tahini drizzle to complement the sesame flavor.
