Instructions to make Melomakarona 3:
- Boil the syrup. Place all the ingredients together, except the lemon and let them boil for 5 minutes over medium to strong heat. Then, add the lemon and leave for an additional 5 minutes. Take care because the honey makes the syrup foam and it might spill. In the end, skim off the foam.
- While the syrup boils, beat the vegetable oil shortening with the sugar for a while. Add the lukewarm sunflower oil and blend for a while longer.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the orange juice and add it quickly to the mixture, because it foams! Add the orange zest as well as the brandy.
- Add the semolina, the vanilla, clove powder and a little bit of flour together with the baking powder.
- Mix lightly, using your hand and gradually add the rest of the flour little by little until you have a soft, pliable dough.
- Form your melomakarona and place them in a buttered or oiled baking tray. If you like, poke the top lightly with a fork before you put them in the oven.
- Bake in a moderate oven until they get slightly golden brown. Set them aside for 3-4 minutes before you dip them into the syrup.
- Take a small baking tray and pour in a little of your hot syrup. Place the melomakarona in the syrup and leave them for 3-4 minutes so they absorb enough of it.
- Turn them upside down and leave them for an additional 3-4 minutes. If later, the syrup in the baking tray cools, heat it for a couple of minutes.
- Coarsely grind the walnuts and add 1 tsp of cinnamon. Arrange the melomakarona in a platter and sprinkle with a little bit of the walnuts.Best of luck.
