BENNE WAFERS
Serves: Makes about 50 wafers.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons butter
1 egg, beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS
In a sauté pan or skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium heat until brown. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching. Let cool.
In a mixing bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together.
Add the beaten egg to the sugar/butter mixture, and combine well.
Next, sift the flour, salt and baking powder together, add it to the mix and combine until just smooth.
Finally add the vanilla and toasted sesame seeds and mix well.
On a foil, parchment or silicon baking mat lined baking sheet, drop teaspoons of batter, spaced apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in a 375°F oven for approximately 12-13 minutes, until browned.
Let cool for about a minute on baking sheet before removing to cool on rack.
