2 tbs sesame seeds

4. add the sultanas
   
5. grate the orange peel till you have two good pinches and add it.
6. add 1 tbs orange juice or more to taste
7. add more flour if necessary
   
8. spoon into a mini muffin tray and cook at 180 Celsius for about 10 mins, but keep an eye on them, they burn quickly.
   

Serve hot or cold. They freeze well.
Encourage lots of taste testing at all stages of the process. You can even mix with your bare hands if you go outside and have a hand washing station prepared, or even use this brew for a kind of play dough for awhile, experimenting with cookie cutters, rolling pins and colourful food like blueberries and strawberries to color it.
