Anna Sultana's Qaghag tal-Gulglien - Sesame Ring Biscuits, Maltese Style

On the good side, it's nice to know you're visiting my blog.

On the bad side...

Sheesh, you don't have to bite my head off.

I know I haven't had a recipe from my Ma for a while.

Well, she didn't have favorite booze recipes.

And, to be honest, she didn't cook many chocolate cookies or cakes.

So, this week I'm skipping Carmela's Entertaining with The Sopranos and giving you a recipe from Ma's cookbook.

Here's a recipe for Ma's Qagħag tal-Ġulglien, Sesame Ring Biscuits.

                        Qagħag tal-Ġulglien

Grease a large cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 400º 

In a large mixing bowl, beat 

100 g lard

100 g margarine

200 g sugar

----- 

Add

2 eggs, beaten

----- 

Mix in

400 g flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Work into a dough by adding 

a little milk

----- 

Form dough into 15 to 18 rings.

Dip each ring into

50 g sesame seeds

Put the rings on the greased pan.
Bake about 30 minutes (until they are golden).

These were also called biscuits.

Here's a recipe for Biskuttini tar-Raħal.

Yes, more confusion when we learned about English and American biscuits.

Will I make them again.

Sure.

They're good to dip in a cup of coffee.
