Toast the flour in a wide pan for 20 minutes until pale hazelnut colored.
Add the butter to the flour and toast for 5 more minutes.
Boil the sugar, water, and lemon juice into a thick candy syrup.
Pour the syrup onto a greased tray and let it cool until warm.
Shape the syrup into a ring and lay it into the toasted flour.
Turn and fold the ring until it becomes fine strands.
Break the halva into small pieces and cool.
💡 Tip: Pulling the syrup before it hardens too much lets the strands stretch without snapping.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Break into small portions and serve with Turkish coffee.
