This takes slightly longer than the 30 mn I set as limit for this series of recipes, but as it's still fast, really simple and the ingredients are likely to all be present in the kitchen already, I wanted to include it for a bit of exotism. These are Turkish/Near Eastern savoury biscuits that are very flaky once baked, and really delicious as a tea break snack. Instead of sesame, I sometimes sprinkle zaatar (local thyme mix) but any spice you fancy could be substituted and work well with the neutral taste.

Don't worry if the dough feels incredibly oily when you're rolling the snakes – it all evaporates in the baking and they come out quite dry and light. It's essential to keep them in an airtight container so that they don't absorb humidity from the air and lose their texture.

I just now made this stuff and it's baking; quick question though, how doughy is it supposed to be? I couldn't twist the snakes without them falling apart, should I back off a bit on the oil next time? :s
also, can you give a visual of how big/thick they're supposed to be? xD; I did some experimenting with them while laying them out but it didn't seem right. The ones that are in the oven right now are probably rolled too thin.

They're supposed to be very oily, it evaporates while baking; you don't have to twist the a great deal (or at all, if you fancy). I make them no bigger than the diameter of a tea cup (when rolled), myself.
