Flour Halva

What you need

• 1 cup flour
• 150g butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups milk

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

What you do

Toast the flour in butter over low heat for fifteen minutes until it goes sandy and smells like biscuits. Pour in milk boiled with sugar, stir until it comes together.

How it feels to make

Fifteen minutes of stirring flour in butter is a long time and the smell tells you when it's right.
