4 tablespoons honey, divided
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 1/2 cups toasted sesame seeds
4 tablespoons ice water, divided

Instructions

In a food processor, or by hand a in a large
bowl using a pastry blender, pulse/blend the flours, baking soda, salt, brown
sugar until it forms a sand-like consistency.
Add in the butter, 2 tablespoons honey, sesame
oil and 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse/blend until the dough comes together into a slightly sticky ball, but one that holds together nicely.
Add the sesame seeds to the dough and using a
wooden spoon and fold them thoroughly into the dough.

plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Roll the chilled dough out onto a lightly

dough into whatever size shapes you like. I cut mine into approximately 1"
squares.
Transfer the crackers onto a parchment-lined
baking sheet.
Mix together 2 tablespoons honey and 1
tablespoon water. *Note - It's easier to mix if you place it in a microwave for just a few seconds.
Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the
crackers with half of the honey mixture.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes and then
remove the crackers and brush them again with the remaining honey mixture.
Return the crackers to the oven for another
10-15 minutes and then cool on a wire rack.
