Steps:
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir rose water and saffron into the sugar mixture; cover saucepan and remove from heat.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; stir flour into the melted butter until mixture is a smooth paste. Continue to cook, stirring often, until paste turns golden, about 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Slowly whisk sugar mixture into paste until smooth. Remove saucepan from heat and spread halva evenly onto a plate or platter. Make a pattern on the top of halva using the back of a spoon or a knife. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my halva turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of tahini, but I really enjoyed this halva. The sweetness of the sugar and honey helped to balance out the nutty flavor of the tahini.
