Ingredients

• 1 C butter, clarified
• 4 C flour
• 1/4 t salt
• 2 t baking powder
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 C sugar
• 1 t vanilla
• Sesame seeds for sprinkling

Directions

1. To clarify butter:

2. Heat butter in small pot/pan on medium-low flame

3. Skim off white stuff with a spoon, leaving yellow behind

4. Use the yellow in the recipe

5. (you can use the white for another purpose; it’s good on popcorn)

6. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, keep separate

7. Mix together the butter and eggs

8. Add sugar and mix

9. Stir in vanilla

10. Stir in flour mixture

11. Optional: refrigerate dough (makes it easier to form)

12. (Can refrigerate for a day or more; freeze for longer)

13. Preheat oven to 350

14. Form into rings (roll ~2 T dough into a rope, form into a ring) [make them thinner and smaller than you think – they expand a lot]

15. Try to keep the ropes the same thickness

16. Dip in or sprinkle sesame seeds on rings

17. Place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart (they will expand a bit)

18. Bake 15-20 min (time depends on thickness)
