Sesame seed scones

Sesame seed is one of oldest oil seeds humanity knows. When baking, oils in seeds toast, emitting intense, nutty aroma, matching buttery dough brilliantly. This recipe is praise of simplicity: no cheese or ham inside, focus is on dough purity and toasted sesame seed crunch.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use black sesame seeds too?
Yes! Scone becomes spectacular 'dotted', taste slightly earthier.
Seeds fall off top, what did I spoil?
You didn't brush dough thoroughly enough with egg before sprinkling. Egg is the 'glue'.
