- Cut log crosswise into 8 equal rounds. Flatten each piece slightly with your palm, then sprinkle each lightly with sesame seeds.
- Press each round till proportionately thick and about 4" wide. If filling pops out, press back into dough.
- Place rounds, without crowding, in a 10 - 12" frying pan over med to med-low heat. Cook, turning occasionally, till each side is dry looking and well speckled with brown, 6 - 8 minutes total.
- Mix remaining 1/4 tsp salt with sugar. As warm, browned cakes come from pan, sprinkle them lightly with salt-sugar mix. Serve cakes warm, hot, or possibly at room temp.
