Sellou with DXN RG capsules

4 portions (about 3 tbsp each, ≈ 55 g)Time : 45 min + cooling

Ingredients

  • ½ cup flour (70 g)
  • 1 handful of skin-on almonds (70 g)
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds (35 g)
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar (20 g)
  • 1 heaped tbsp melted unsalted butter (20 g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (10 g)
  • 1 level tsp ground green anise (2 g)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (1 g)
  • 2 to 3 grains of mastic (meska horra), pounded with 1 pinch of sugar (≈ 0.3 g)

Ramadan sellou, sandy and scented with anise. The powder from the RG capsules goes in only at the very end, once the sellou is completely cold.

Method

  1. Dry-toast the flour in a heavy-based frying pan over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring all the time, until it is a pale golden colour. Sift and let it cool.
  2. Roast the almonds (oven at 180 °C for 10 to 12 minutes, or in the pan) and the sesame (pan, 3 to 4 minutes). Let them cool, then grind them finely, separately.
  3. In a large dish, mix the flour, almonds, sesame, icing sugar, anise, cinnamon and mastic.
  4. Add the melted butter and the olive oil. Rub together with your fingertips until the sellou is sandy and holds its shape when pressed in your hand.
  5. Let it cool completely, at room temperature.
  6. Set the children's share aside, without RG: 3 tablespoons (≈ 55 g) per child.
  7. Open 2 capsules per adult portion (8 for 4 portions) over the dish: pour in the powder only and throw away the empty shells. Mix for a long time so the powder is evenly spread.
  8. Serve in small domes or balls. Keep in an airtight box.

Kids' version

Plain sellou, without RG, set aside at step 6.
