Turn the pine nuts in butter until lightly colored.
Add the semolina and toast over low heat for 15 minutes.
Warm the milk, water, and sugar in a separate pot for 5 minutes.
Slowly add the hot milky syrup to the semolina so the steam does not splash.
Rest the helva covered for 10 minutes, then serve it loose and grainy.
💡 Tip: Toast the semolina over medium heat while stirring constantly, so the color turns evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with ice cream or cinnamon.
