Instructions

  1. 1 Put flour in a wide saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until fragrant, about 15 minutes. Don't let it turn yellow. Add sugar slowly, mixing well, until combined.
  2. 2 Add melted butter and vanilla to the mixture. Mix all by a spoon or your hands, but be careful, as it can be very hot, until it has a sand-like consistency. Transfer to a 9x9-inch pan, pressing down as much as you can.
  3. 3 Cut the mixture into a baklava shape or squares.
  4. 4 Chill until set, 1 to 2 hours. Serve.
