Steps

1

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead.
2

Shape the melomakarona. Take a walnut sized piece of dough and shape it into an oval.
3

Bake in a preheated oven, 180 degrees, approximately 30 minutes.
4

Prepare the syrup by bringing the syrup ingredients to a boil in a large pot.
5

Submerge the cookies into the hot syrup, a few at a time, for about 5 minutes. If you prefer them softer, let stand longer.
6

Arrange on a serving platter, scattering finely chopped walnuts over every layer.
