Ingredients
  • 50-75 gr butter (ideally ghee)
  • 50 gr flour (about a third of a glass)
  • sherbet (syrup): 0.5 cups of sugar and water
  • cinnamon, saffron

The recipe for Azerbaijani halva was given to me by my husband. It would be more accurate to say - showed. The first time he cooked this oriental delicacy 8 years ago. Now I am preparing this sweet. And regularly - because I really liked the recipe for this halva. Om-Nom-nom!

Halva without seeds and nuts, Azerbaijani recipe.

Recipe for Azerbaijani halva


1

Cook syrup (sorbet): mix sugar with water, bring to a boil, boil for 8-10 minutes (until it thickens slightly). I didn't have saffron, so I added a fifth of a teaspoon of turmeric;

2

We fry the flour in a dry frying pan: we stir constantly so that it is evenly golden. When the flour has acquired a beautiful, pronounced creamy shade, add oil, fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes. Or: first, send the oil to the pan, and then add the flour and fry over medium heat (stirring constantly) until brownish.

3

We combine sugar syrup and butter-flour mass. Mix quickly and thoroughly. It will hiss a lot - this is normal;

4

Pour (dump) our halva into a plate and draw zigzags with a fork / knife (optional).

When I first heard that my husband called halva a delicacy in which there are no nuts or seeds, I was terribly indignant. How so - because we are completely different! But then I realized that each country has its own ideas about the correctness of a particular dish. And find out "who is right?" - waste of time. The main thing is what? To be delicious!!!
