Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet.
2
Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light, about 2 minutes by hand.
3
Beat in most of the egg (reserve a teaspoon for the egg wash), the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
4
Sift the flour with the baking powder and fold into the wet mixture to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
5
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a thin rope about 12cm long, then fold into a ring or twist shape.
6
Brush each ring lightly with the reserved beaten egg, then roll in the sesame seeds to coat generously on all sides.
7
Place the rings on the lined baking sheet with space between them.
8
Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown and the sesame seeds are toasted.
9
Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving, as they firm up while cooling.
