   1       c            Butter
   1       c            Caster sugar
   1       t            Vanilla essence
   3                    Eggs
   5       c            Plain flour
   3       ts           Baking powder
     1/2   ts           Ground cinnamon
     1/4   ts           Ground cloves

     1/2   c            Toasted sesame seeds

  Makes: 70 Cooking time: 15-20 minutes Oven
  temperature: 190 C (375 F)
  
  Cream butter and sugar with vanilla essence until
  light and fluffy.  Beat eggs, reserve 1 tablespoon for
  glazing and add remainder gradually to butter mixture,
  beating well.
  
  Sift dry ingredients twice.  Stir into creamed mixture
  alternately with milk to form a soft dough.  Knead
  lightly until smooth.  If dough is sticky, chill for 1
  hour.
  
  Scatter some sesame seeds lightly on one side of
  pastry board.  Shape pieces of dough into thick pencil
  shapes and roll onto the sesame seeds to coat lightly
  or according to taste.  Double over rolled dough and
  twist, or form into rings, figure eights or coils.
  Place on greased baking sheets and glaze with reserved
  egg beaten with a little milk.  Bake in a moderate
  oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.  Cool on a
  wire rack and store in an airtight container.
  
  Variation:  Roll dough in granulated sugar instead of
  seeds.  Glaze lightly with milk.
