This is the original recipe for Irmic Halva. In Turkey, it is the desert of choice when it comes to any large get-together because of it's simplicity. For a creamier version, substitute milk for water. Personally, I find the milk version too heavy. The serving size really depends on how much you want. Enjoy!

SERVES 12 -15 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups farina (The powder form, It should resemble fine cracked wheat or Bulgur)
3 cups sugar
4 cups water

Directions

1
Melt the butter over a medium flame.
2
Once the butter begins to bubble, pour in the farina and toast to a light golden brown.
3
Add the sugar and mix thouroughly. Dont take too long, the more toasted the farina is, the more crumbly it will be.
4
Add the water and let it boil out. (Keep an eye on it because it will burn quickly if the water runs out).
5
Let it cool and enjoy!
