This Central Asian celebration candy is made by toasting sesame seeds in the air fryer and combining them with boiled honey. Pressed into a pan, cooled, and cut into bars, it makes an impressive treat for tea time.
Spread the sesame seeds in the air fryer basket and toast at 170°C / 340°F, shaking the basket occasionally, for 6 minutes or until golden. If you do not have an air fryer, toast them in a preheated oven for the same amount of time.
Bring the honey, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for 10 minutes, until thickened.
Stir the toasted sesame seeds into the hot honey mixture. Pour into a parchment-lined pan and smooth the surface with the back of a wet spoon.
Cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour, then cut into pieces.
Toast the sesame seeds in the air fryer, shaking them occasionally; seeds left in one spot can burn and taste bitter. Allergen: contains sesame.
