ThermoFun – Chocolate And Black Sesame Sables Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon dry roasted black sesame seeds
- 200g plain flour
- 30g cacao
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 120g butter, unsalted, cubed
- 100g light moscovado sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 50g raw sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ThermoFun Vanilla Bean Paste
Instructions
- Place sesame seeds into TM bowl and dry roast 2 mins / 100°C / speed 2.
- Mill 30 sec / speed 9.
- Add flour, cacao, baking soda and mix 10 sec / speed 5. Set aside.
No need to wash TM bowl. - Insert Butterfly. Add butter, sugars, salt and vanilla and mix 1 min / speed 4.
- Decrease speed to 2½ and slowly add back the dry ingredients through the lid. Mix until just combined. It will look crumbly, don't over mix.
- Divide the crumbly dough into two and form two logs approx. 3cm in diameter. Roll each firmly into a length of cling film, minimising any cracks and air pockets.
- Refrigerate min 1 hour (or few days in fridge / 1 month in freezer).
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with paper.
- Slice rounds approx. 1cm thick with a sharp knife, pressing back together any broken off bits. Leave space between each sable on the tray and bake 10-12 mins. They will be soft and not look done. Let cool on a rack.
- Option: Gently sprinkle and press some sesame seeds on top of each sable once out of the oven.
