Ingredients

• 1 cup melted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kombe spice (mix of allspice, clove, cinnamon, ginger)
• All-purpose flour as needed (about 4-4.5 cups)
• Sesame seeds for topping

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, vegetable oil, yogurt, and granulated sugar.
2. Add the kombe spice, baking powder, and flour gradually to knead a soft dough.
3. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough, roll them, and press them into a kombe mold to shape.
4. Sprinkle plenty of sesame seeds over the shaped dough pieces.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.

Using freshly ground spices for the kombe spice mix will greatly enhance the flavor.
