Nunt, or noent,[1] is a pastry originating from Jewish cuisine which vaguely resembles nougat. The pastry is predominantly served at the Jewish celebration of Purim, where self-made sweets are customarily given to neighbours and friends. Nunt is traditionally made from dark forest honey, which is cooked along with sugar and then mixed with coarsely cut walnuts.[2] The result is placed on a smooth, wet board or an oiled marble plate, left to cool, and then cut into small rhombic-shaped pieces.
Variants of nunt may also include poppy seeds (mohn pletzlach or mohnlach),[2] or honey enriched with ginger (ingberlach),[1] or sesame seeds or sesame paste.
