Traditional Turkish semolina halva dessert made with semolina flour, butter, pine nuts, and syrup.
Ingredients:

Instructions:

- Carefully drizzle syrup over the semolina mixture. Lower the heat and simmer until nicely thickened, approximately 5 minutes. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before dividing the halva into small dishes.
