Recipe

• 1 preheat your oven to 180c (fan oven).
• 2 whisk the sugar and eggs together until the mixture is thick and a very light yellow colour.
• 3 in a separate bowl or jug mix the oil, milk, zest and lemon/lime juice together. don't worry - the citrus will curdle the milk but it all works out ok when you mix it with the rest of the ingredients!
• 4 slowly add the oil/milk/citrus mixture to the sugar and egg while whisking. once fully combined, start to mix in the flour and baking powder.
• 5 i wanted to have a bit more of the sesame flavour so put the sesame seeds in a dry pan on a medium to high temperature for a few minutes until the oils and flavours started to come out.
• 6 mix the sesame seeds into the batter then spoon into mini loaf tins or cases.
• 7 bake for 30 minutes uncovered then lightly cover with foil for another 15 minutes. allow to cool before getting stuck in!
• 8 you can sieve some icing sugar on top or even make an icing and lemon juice glaze but i decided to keep things basic and just left them as they came out of the oven.
