Un helvası

Un helvası is a traditional sweet, a type of helva (paste-like sweets) made from wheat flour. Other ingredients include butter, oil, sugar, water, and pine nuts. The combination is constantly stirred during cooking, and when it gets harder to stir, the mixture is left to sit and the helva is shaped with two spoons into ball-like scoops before it's served. Un helvası can be served with coffee or tea, and each family has their own recipe, so feel free to experiment with the addition of different flavorings.
