This recipe came about when a cake we were trying had tahini added to the sugar instead of honey, says Dee Rettali. The accident inspired me to create these biscuits – which are now a firm favourite at the bakery. They’re almost like cookies, as they’re quite brittle, and they’re delicious with a glass of mint tea.

Makes 28 biscuits
