When I first tried Melomakarona was the first Christmas that I had in Greece. They are Christmas desserts that are very popular in Greece. I'm not a big fan of honey but they taste delicious and honey makes them better. Ingredients for Melomakarona 150 g fine semolina 550 g flour 1/2 tbsp baking powder 100 g orange juice 100 g sugar 1 tbsp cognac 1 tbsp powered cinnamon 1/3 Tsp nutmeg 1/3 clove 1/2 baking soda 1 vanilla extract 90 g water 125g olive oil 125 g vegetables oil 50 honey Zest of an orange Ingredients for syrup 600 sugar 300 g water 2 cinnamon stick 3 cloves 1 orange 180 g honey Ingredients to garnish 200 g chopped walnuts Step 1 We have to make the syrup first.
