Put the flour into the butter over medium heat and break it up with a wooden spoon.
Roast the flour for 5 minutes, until its aroma comes out but it does not turn dark brown.
Mix the water and molasses in a separate bowl, then add it gradually so the helva does not clump when the liquid goes in cold.
Pour the molasses liquid into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture runs heavily from the spoon.
Finish the aside with walnuts, rest for 5 minutes and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Working in the molasses at the end gives aside balanced sweetness without darkening it too much.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with walnuts sprinkled over the top.
