In a bowl beat the eggs until they are light (in colour) and thick. Add in the sugar and the oil. Beat the mixture well.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt together.

Wa iyaki! Insha'Allaah, I'll try to add a picture soon. Yes, tasty and very easy alhamdulillaah!

for this nice recipe, i made it yesterday and it was really easy,
but i suggest to roll the sticks in an eggyolk/egg before rolling in the sesamseeds because they do not stick at all when you take them from the oven .
I added slightly more salt than you said and this was too much, so sisters don't add more salt than in the recipe!

I wonder if it would be a good idea to add some plain yoghurt to the dough to have sticks that are a little bit less dry?
Another idea i want to try the next time inchAllah is to roll the sticks in other seeds too like sunflower etc...

And for finishing: this is an ideal recipe for mums who want to keep their little ones busy: they can do the job of rolling the sticks!

Wa feki barak Allaah. I am happy that you enjoyed trying them. I think the idea of rolling them in egg is good. While I didn't have the problem of them all falling off, you do end up with a lot of them on the baking sheet when they finish cooking.

For adding yogurt: I will have to let one of our more experienced cooks comment on this insha'Allaah Perhaps sis Aisha might know.
