1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup all purpose flour, sifted

Roll the dough by the teaspoonful on the floured board.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Roll into very thin 4-inch diameter rounds, leaving the edges ragged.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet until golden (about 15 minutes).
Sprinkle with salt while still warm.
Store in a tightly covered container.
