Treat your ingredients with care...
- Flour — Use all-purpose flour for the best results. Avoid using self-rising flour as it may affect the texture of the sachima.
- Eggs — Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the dough.
- Butter — Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the dough to prevent it from cooking the eggs.
- Vegetable oil — Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or peanut oil, for frying the sachima.
- Sesame seeds — Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling them on top of the sachima for enhanced flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a sweeter sachima, increase the amount of sugar in the dough.
- Add a pinch of salt to the dough to enhance the overall flavor.
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to achieve a crispy exterior and a fully cooked interior.
- Allow the sachima to cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness.
- Experiment with different shapes and sizes to create a visually appealing presentation.
