1-In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent them from burning. Set aside.
2-In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the semolina and cook, stirring continuously, until it becomes lightly golden.
3-In a saucepan, mix the sugar, honey, and water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer to form a light syrup. Stir in the lemon juice.
4-Gradually pour the hot syrup into the toasted semolina, stirring constantly. Mix in the toasted sesame seeds (and chopped nuts, if using).
5-Continue to cook the mixture for a few more minutes until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
6-Transfer the mixture to a greased dish or tray. Press down evenly and allow it to cool and set.
7-Once cooled, cut the Susam Tatlısı into your desired shapes, typically squares or diamonds.
8-Serve at room temperature as a delightful and unique sweet treat.

Pressing Technique: Press the mixture firmly into the dish to ensure it holds together well after cooling.
Customizing Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different nuts or even a splash of rose water in the syrup for a floral note.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature. It stays fresh and delicious for several days.
