Method

1. Mix the flour with the butter and anise and rub them well by hand.
2. Add the egg and vanilla, then add the baking powder, sugar, orange blossom water and milk gradually; knead until you have a dough, and if it is soft you can add more flour. Cover the dough and let it rest for half an hour.
3. After the time has passed, roll out the dough and cut it into lengthwise strips (as shown in the accompanying photos).
4. Place a little date filling lengthwise on the dough, roll it and cut to the desired size. Brush the date fingers with beaten egg yolk mixed with a pinch of vanilla and sprinkle a little sesame on them. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until they brown.
