Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, melted butter, yeast, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.

4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 5 mm thickness. Cut into small circles using a cookie cutter.

6. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. While the pastries are baking, heat the honey in a small saucepan until it becomes liquid.
9. Once the pastries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with warm honey.
10. Let the pastries cool slightly before serving warm, drizzled with extra honey if desired.
