Stirring from the outside into the middle gradually mix all the liquids into the flour until you have a dough. It will feel a bit oily, but is quite manageable. With floured hands shape the dough into rings about the diameter of a saucer and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush them over with milk and sprinkle the sesame seeds on them. Bake them in a 400 degree oven for approx. 30 min. or until they are nicely browned.
