Best Answer

Butter, cinnamon, flour, nuts, sugar and water are the traditional ingredients in Albania's halva.

Specifically, the word "halva" is a loan word in the Albanian language. It originally comes from the Arabic word for "sweet." It is indeed a sweet dish that will be savored once the ingredients are assembled and processed in their proper order.

Flour is sautéed in butter with which it is stirred continuously until the mixture is a pleasing, soft brown in color. Previously and separately boiled water is added. The mixture is stirred until all of the moisture evaporates.

Sugar then is added. A choice or combination of almonds or walnuts then is added. The mixture is stirred constantly until thickened and then removed from the heat.

The dessert is served in individual size dessert cups. The top of each dessert is sprinkled with cinnamon.

The dish may be served hot or cold.
