The Lefkadian oil pie, with its main ingredients flour and oil, is made and offered at the feasts and in the joys (weddings, baptisms) as well as New Year's Eve as a traditional Vassilopita. Materials

Boil the water with sugar for 10 minutes until it becomes syrup and keep it warm. 2. Put the oil on the fire to burn. Then slowly add the flour and semolina to the saucepan with the oil that has been burned, and stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, always on a medium heat until it becomes a very thick slurry and gets a dark brown color. Then slowly add the warm syrup and continue shaking until the syrup is absorbed and become a light halva.
