Iraqi Halawa Halib (Milk Sweet) image

This sweet is one of the most famous sweets in Iraq. It has a great taste, simple and it's made by women in their home and not sold in bakeries. Most home-made sweets in Iraq are poured in small flat round plates (1 plate for a person) and eaten with a spoon, or you can pour it in a big plate and everyone have their share of it.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cake flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup corn oil (I prefer corn oil) or 1 cup sunflower oil (I prefer corn oil)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Sugar syrup: Put sugar and water in a small saucepan on medium heat.
  • Stir mixture until sugar dissolves.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • Halawa: Put all the halawa ingredient in a medium saucepan and put it on medium heat.
  • Stir the mix non-stop with a wooden spoon (be careful that the mix is easily burned if not stirred continuously) until it becomes light brown in color (like color of caramels).
  • (When the mix color begins to darken, lower the heat as you continue stirring).
  • When the mix is light brown in color, remove from heat, pour the sugar syrup over the halawa mix (the mix will bubble).
  • Wait for about 2-3 seconds and stir the halawa with the spoon to blend well.
  • Pour in individual flat plates or one big plate.
  • Set aside to cool and then serve.
