Method
- Toast flour in a dry pan until nutty, then set aside. Use medium-low heat and stop when fragrant and one shade darker, because residual heat continues the toasting.
- Boil brown sugar and water until syrupy.
- Add glucose or corn syrup if using for a chewier texture.
- Stir in peanuts, sesame seeds, salt, and butter.
- Add toasted flour gradually until the mixture forms a thick dough.
- Press onto an oiled tray and flatten evenly.
- Watch the final sugar stage closely and remove the pan as soon as the target colour or set is reached; residual heat continues cooking the syrup.
- Cool until firm, then cut into small pieces.
