A festive-table staple in Greece, melomakarona is made by baking a semolina dough and dipping the warm cookies in honey syrup. Scented with orange and topped with chopped walnuts, it is a soft cookie that children enjoy just as much as adults.
Knead together the semolina, flour, oil, orange juice, orange zest, baking powder and cinnamon, and shape into small oval cookies.
Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined tray and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25 minutes until lightly golden underneath.
Bring the honey, sugar and water to a boil in a pot and keep simmering for 5 minutes.
Dip the hot cookies into the hot syrup for a few seconds, lift out and drain, then sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
Dip the cookies into the hot syrup as soon as they come out of the oven; once cooled they will not absorb the syrup and will stay dry. Allergens: contains gluten (semolina, flour) and tree nuts (walnut).
Do not chop the walnuts too finely; coarser pieces stay crunchier and do not sink into the syrup.
