- Biscuit centre:

- Biscuit mix:
- 125g butter
- 85 ml vegetable oil

- 1 tsp baking powder
- About 3 cups flour
- Heat the oven to 180C
- Cover a baking tray with a silicone mat or baking paper
- Mix the 3 biscuit filling ingredients together well in a bowl (nuts, sugar and tahini)
- In a separate bowl add all the biscuit ingredients except for the flour.
- Mix well and gradually add the flour until you have a nice earlobe consistency.
- Once the dough is forming a nice soft ball, put it on the counter and divide into 3 parts
- Roll out the first third, into a long thin flat line about 8cm wide
- Take a third of the filling mixture and spread it gently down the dough as seen in the video
- Carefully fold the pastry over the filling and cover the seam.
- Slice the roll and place on the baking tray leaving a little room for spreading
- Bake until they take on a little colour, around 12 to 15 minutes
- Remove from oven but do not touch them until completely cool
- Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving if desired
