Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix all the ingredients of the first mixture.

* Step 2

Using another bowl, beat the olive oil for at least 10 minutes and add the rest of the ingredients without interrupting the beating.

* Step 3

After the second mixture is thoroughly incorporated, add the first mixture to it and knead by hand.

* Step 4

The dough is successful if it unsticks from your hands.

* Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

* Step 6

For each melomalarono use 50 g of dough, form a ball and then press it to make an elliptical shape.

* Step 7

Place the melomakarona on an oiled baking sheet (24 in each sheet) and poke them lengthwise with a fork.

* Step 8

Place the baking sheet on the second oven rack from the top and bake for 20 minutes. Take care to follow the baking time because the melomakarona can burn easily!

* Step 9

When you are finished with baking (don't place two baking sheets in the oven at the same time) prepare the syrup using a deep pot

* Step 10

Place all the ingredients in the pot and let them boil for three minutes (beginning the count from the moment it starts boiling) without removing the foam.

* Step 11

Remove the pot from heat and dip the melomakarona in the syrup for 1/2 a minute.

* Step 12

Arrange them in a deep platter and sprinkle them with ground walnut.
