Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with tahini. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine boiling water and whole anise seeds in a glass measuring cup; steep for approximately 5 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl, discarding the anise seeds. Stir in sugar until completely dissolved. (10 minutes)

StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together flour, turmeric, baking powder, and anise seed powder. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add oil and melted butter to the well, then gradually incorporate the sweetened anise-flavored water, mixing until the batter reaches the consistency of thick yogurt. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour batter into the prepared baking pan. Using the tip of a knife, gently score the top of the batter into diamond shapes. Place 1 pine nut in the center of each diamond. (5 minutes)
