Heat the sugar and water for 3 minutes, then set aside once the sugar dissolves.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan for 2 minutes.
Add the flour and roast over medium heat for 12 minutes, until light brown.
Pour in the warm syrup in a thin stream so the helva does not clump.
Let the helva come together over low heat for 3 minutes.
Shape with a spoon and serve warm with cinnamon.
💡 Tip: Roasting the flour until it reaches a hazelnut shade builds the deep flavor of the helva.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with cinnamon sprinkled over the top.
