Boil the sugar syrup for 8 minutes, then add the molasses after removing it from the heat.
Knead the tahini, butter, and walnuts with the flour, keeping the dough from becoming hard.
Press the dough into a greased tray and score slice marks with a knife.
Bake the nevzine in a 180°C oven for 30 minutes until browned.
Pour warm syrup over the hot dessert so it does not stay pasty.
Rest the dessert for 30 minutes, then serve from the scored slices.
💡 Tip: When the syrup is warm and the dessert is hot, the dough absorbs it without falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with walnuts and clotted cream.
