A super easy recipe to remember, greek traditional “Halvas”, with only a few ingredients you will always have in mind, just by counting from one to four… Oh, and don’t you think you will get confused… Remember: one cup stands for the most expensive ingredient and gradually goes to the cheapest….
Halva is a semolina pudding that is sweetened with syrup and studded with nuts and raisins. It is a dessert that has Arabic origins but has been adopted into the Greek culture and is widely served during fasting periods because there are no eggs or dairy in the recipe.

1 packet of baking powder(10 grams),
2 – 2,5 cups of all purpose flour (the cup is 200 ml.).

For syrup:
3 cups of granulated sugar,
3 cups of water,

Add the baking powder and add the flour slowly cup by cup.
Knead and get a very soft dough but not sticky.
Divide the dough in 4 pieces.
Roll one of the pieces lenghtwise on a plain surface and get a long and thin roll.
Slice the roll in small pieces and dip each of the pieces into the semolina and place them in to a baking tray.
Continue with the other 3 dough pieces left.
After you place all of them in the tray then bake them in the preheated oven at 170°C until they get golden brown.
While baking, in a deep bowl, combine the sugar and the water and mix them until the sugar dissolves.
When the sugar dissolves, add the lemon juice and mix.
After baking, take semolina desserts out from the oven and pour the cold syrup on them.
Then leave them to absorb the syrup for 2 or 3 hours.
Before serving, you can sprinkle some grated coconut or crushed in big size walnut.
