Do you have a sweet tooth? No, I’m sure that you love sweets for a snack, for dessert, between times, out of boredom and to maintain your tone. This is all true. But where can you get it if you don’t want to leave the house, the pies have been eaten, and an interesting book has been read? What about our hands, which are skillful out of boredom? Here they are - in place!

Let's go to the kitchen and put on our favorite apron to lift our spirits. Dagestan craftswomen and cooks always know how to please their family, although they make this delicacy infrequently, because halva is a sign of a big holiday in the house! Do you think that halva is difficult to make at home, because the process is absolutely industrial, and you need to peel a lot of seeds, or sesame...? No, my dear hostesses! We don't need any sunflower seeds or sesame seeds. Although walnuts may come in handy.

So, flour halva.

Take a thick-walled frying pan or saucepan, heat it, put 200 g of melted butter there. Bring it to a boil, add a pinch of flour to check the readiness of the butter. The flour should become golden, and after that, gradually pour in 600 g of sifted flour in parts, stirring continuously until the mass thickens so that it is difficult to interfere. Don't despair, it will soon become thinner, and then you should add a new portion of flour. We do this, gradually adding flour, and fry until it looks like thick sour cream. Let's taste it, the halva should have a pleasant nutty smell of toasted flour. If we smell raw flour, fry it a little more. We determine readiness as follows: mix a piece of the flour mixture with powdered sugar, try it - it should not stick to the roof of your mouth. And the smell must be delicious! Pour 400 g of powdered sugar into the mass in portions, mix everything well.

While the halva is hot, you can give it the desired shape. Usually it is laid out in a large plate in a layer of 3-5 cm, leveled and decorated with walnut halves. Coarsely chopped or crushed walnuts can be added to the mixture at the end of preparing the halva. Quantity - to taste, approximately like raisins in buns, but do not overdo it, otherwise the halva will fall apart. This halva is delicious without nuts, but it’s considered richer with nuts! If you don't have powdered sugar, you can replace it with granulated sugar. But with powder the halva is more tender.

Properly prepared halva should have a pleasant light caramel color and not overcooked. The consistency is dense, but easily broken. Neither solid nor liquid. It looks deceptive until you look at it and don’t imagine what it could be. But once you try it, you become a passionate fan for life. Cut into diamonds, squares or any other pieces, it ends very quickly, unfortunately. Like all good things.

But for optimists this is not a problem. We've run out of one halva - we're preparing another!

Halva made from nuts. This is perhaps the most familiar dish; it looks like kozinaki. Roast the shelled walnuts, then be sure to peel them. We don't need this garbage. While the nuts are cooling, boil the honey. If there is not enough honey, you can supplement the missing part with sugar. The ratio of sugar and honey for syrup is 1:1. Heat the honey over low heat, but not until it boils. Slowly add sugar and dissolve it in this syrup. We check the readiness of honey by dropping a drop of it into cold water. The drop has thickened - the honey is ready. Remove from heat, add nuts, stir. Nuts can be chopped or taken in halves and quarters. While the halva is hot, put it in a plate or suitable form, greased with melted butter. The number of components is taken arbitrarily, but it is better when the ratio of honey and nuts is 1:2. For example, 500g of honey and 1kg of shelled nuts.

And finally one more halva - made from dough.

Knead a medium-soft elastic dough from yolks (or whole eggs) and flour, as for noodles. Pass the dough in small parts through a meat grinder with a large grid. Carefully collect the resulting threads and deep-fry them until pale brown. They fry very quickly and increase in size, watch this process! Place the fried sticks on a napkin to remove excess fat and cool.

Then, in a large, comfortable bowl, carefully mix the fried dough with boiled honey (as in halva with nuts), place it on a greased surface, compact it slightly, and form a rectangle 5-7 cm high. Don’t be afraid to break the sticks a little, this is not considered a drawback. Cut the cooled halva into squares or rectangles. Serve to the table. This dish has a pleasant sunny honey color and just begs to be eaten. This kind of halva is always prepared for weddings.

It must be said that in Dagestan cuisine, melted butter, or a mixture of melted butter and melted margarine, is mainly used. It's called homemade fat. It can be used in any dishes, you can fry any food on it. The halva dough can be fried in a mixture of ghee and vegetable oil. Vegetable oil should be odorless. You can not pass the dough through a meat grinder, but cut it into noodles, having previously rolled it out to about 2-3mm thick.

This halva has another name - “Chak-chak” pie, known to many. Therefore, I will give here several dough recipes.

A simple test: 3 eggs, 2 cups flour, a pinch of salt.

Dough with vodka: 5 eggs, 1 tbsp. l milk, 2 tbsp. l vodka, 1/2 tsp soda, 1/2 tsp salt, flour.

Yeast dough: 10 eggs, a little yeast, salt, flour - as much as you need.

Well, is it difficult to make halva? That's the same! And all the troubles are made up for by being treated to “heavenly deliciousness,” as my friend used to say. And how many words of praise the hostess will hear, just have time to bow! Good luck to you and bon appetit!
