Coarsely crush the hazelnuts and keep them aside so their aroma stays clear.
Toast the flour in butter for 10 minutes, until light brown.
Boil the water and sugar for 5 minutes and keep the syrup hot.
Slowly add the hot syrup to the toasted flour, protecting your hand from the steam.
Fold in the hazelnuts, bring the halva together, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
When spoon marks remain visible, divide the halva into small portions.
💡 Tip: Adding the hazelnuts in the final stage keeps them crisp without releasing too much oil.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with plain ice cream or tea.
