Fay's pasteli Sesame bars



3 cups of sesame seeds 

1 cup of chopped peanuts or any other nuts of your choice

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 Cup raw sugar

1/3 cup of water 

1/3 of Rice malt syrup or honey

Large pinch of salt 

Some baking paper 

Spray oil

Rolling pin 


Method

Place in a non stick frypan the sesame seeds and brown continually and being carful not to burn it . Once done empty it in a bowl and do the same with the nuts of your choice stirring until they are also browned place them with the sesame seeds and mix them well let them cool. 

Place in the same nonstick frypan the sugars the Rice malt syrup or the honey ( I like to use the Rice malt Syrup as it will make them nice and shiny but a good quality honey is just as good) the salt and the water and mix them all together and cook in a moderate heat for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickens then add the sesame seeds and nuts and mix well until all of the sesame seeds and nuts are well coated. 

Cut a large piece  of baking paper enough to fold over and spray it with some oil

Then empty the mix on to the baking paper and fold over with the same piece then with the rolling pin roll out to desired thickness and cut to in to pieces before it sets.

Let it cool completely and place in a air tight container it never last more then a few days in my house hold they all love it!
