Sesame Seeds Balls (Mauritian Gâteaux Zinzli)

Ingredients: 2 ¼ cups of flour (I use all-purpose), 6 tablespoons of milk powder, 1 ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, 1teaspoon of cardamom (elaiti) powder, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoon of melted butter, you will also need liquid milk to make the dough (I don’t have any exact measurement, as you need to add the milk gradually until you get a smooth dough), 3 tablespoon of sesame seeds.

Method: Put the 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds in a little bowl of water. Leave for few minutes, then remove the water and place the sesame seeds on a plate. Next in a large bowl mix the flour, milk powder, baking powder, cardamom powder, sugar and butter in a bowl. Add liquid milk gradually until you get a smooth dough. When done, make small balls with the dough, roll each small ball on the plate of sesame seeds. Heat oil in a pan; fry the balls over medium heat. Once they turn into a brownish colour, they are ready.  
You can have them with a cup of hot tea, coffee, or any other drink of your choice. Nevertheless, they taste great with a cup of tea.
