Cypriot Tahini Pies with Orange Flavour

Today we're going to make Cypriot tahini pies. Tahini, sugar and cinnamon is a perfect combination, but the orange zest makes it irresistible! The addition of sesame seeds makes the pies crunchy, but it is optional. This is a hand pie with layers of dough and sweet filling that melts in your mouth and my personal favourite.
