Ingredients
1 teaspoon oil
2 1/2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1/2 cup lard
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Directions
1. Heat oil. Add sesame seeds and toast lightly (stir constantly to prevent burning). Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together lard and sugar in a bowl. Beat egg; then blend in. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the toasted sesame seeds.
3. Sift flour, together with baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Gradually add to bowl and blend in. Then knead the dough well: push it away with the palms of the hands, pull it up with the fingers, and fold the dough back over, repeating the process a number of times. (If the dough is too stiff, add water a drop at a time to make it more pliable.)
4. Refrigerate the dough several hours to chill.
5. Lightly flour a pastry board. With a rolling pin, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch; then cut with a cookie cutter.
6. Grease a baking tin with peanut oil; arrange cookies on top. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds; press these in gently. Bake until cookies are browned
