Basya Tsybukmakher
Preparation
Anyone who remembers the taste of halvah from childhood will surely try this recipe - homemade sunflower seed halvah!
Toast the seeds and pass them through a meat grinder several times.
Toast the flour in a dry frying pan until golden brown, mix it with the ground seeds, and pass the mixture through the meat grinder once more. Add the oil and mix.
Cook the sugar and water into a syrup (it should solidify as it cools). Pour the syrup into the mixture and knead thoroughly.
Line a mold with paper, add the halvah, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight (preferably with a weight on top).
