🧂 材料

500 g All-purpose flour(For toasting)
200 g Whole raw almonds(Blanching optional, but recommended for a smoother texture)
200 g White sesame seeds(Toasted)
150 g Unsalted butter(Melted)
150 ml Honey(Or more to taste)
2 tbsp Ground cinnamon(Freshly ground for best flavor)
1 tsp Anise seeds (optional)(Toasted and ground)
1 tsp Fennel seeds (optional)(Toasted and ground)

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the flour evenly on a large baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes, until it turns a light golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
⏱️ 25-30 minutes (including cooling)
2
While the flour cools, prepare the almonds and sesame seeds. If blanching almonds, soak them in hot water for 5 minutes, drain, slip off skins, and pat dry. Toast the blanched almonds and the sesame seeds separately in dry pans over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden. Almonds will take about 8-10 minutes, sesame seeds about 5-7 minutes. Let them cool.
⏱️ 20 minutes
3
Once cooled, grind the toasted almonds and sesame seeds. For a traditional texture, grind them coarsely in a food processor or mortar and pestle. For a finer consistency, grind them more finely, but avoid turning them into a paste. If using optional anise and fennel seeds, toast them briefly in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind them with the almonds and sesame.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes
4
In a large bowl, combine the cooled toasted flour, ground almond-sesame mixture, cinnamon, and optional ground anise/fennel. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
⏱️ 5 minutes
5
Add the melted butter and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until a thick, cohesive paste forms. The mixture should be moist enough to hold together when pressed. Add a little more honey if it seems too dry, or a touch more melted butter if too sticky.
⏱️ 10 minutes
6
To serve, you can press the Sellou mixture into small decorative molds, or shape it into small pyramids or balls by hand. Alternatively, spread it evenly in a shallow dish and score it into portions. Serve at room temperature.
