Method
- 1 Roast the flour in a dry pan for 25 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, until the flour turns sandy brown and has a fragrant nutty aroma.
- 2 If the flour isn't roasted enough to be brown, sellou will have a raw flour taste and won't keep well.
- 3 Roast the almonds and grind them coarsely, roast the sesame seeds and grind half of them so that the mixture contains both whole nuts and powder.
- 4 Mix the roasted flour with the seeds, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and crushed cumin seeds, then sift through a fine sieve.
- 5 Pour in the melted butter and honey, mix by hand for 8 minutes, then press into a mound on a plate and let it sit for 2 hours until the mass sets.
