Sellou is the Moroccan pantry dessert: no baking, just patient toasting and generous spice. Flour is toasted until it smells like nuts and warm biscuits, then mixed with ground almonds and sesame for richness. Powdered sugar sweetens it, while cinnamon and anise give it that unmistakable Moroccan signature. Melted butter is added slowly until the mixture packs like damp sand. Press, slice, and serve with tea; it keeps beautifully for days. Serve warm with bread and mint tea nearby, always Serve warm with bread and mint
