Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the semolina, melted clarified butter, flour, and salt. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- 2
The next day, the mixture will be firm. Stir it well, add a pinch of vanilla powder, then gradually add the water and orange blossom water mixture while mixing. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed depending on the semolina; you may not need the full cup. Cover and let rest for at least 1 hour. If the dough seems dry, add a little more orange blossom water.
- 3
Mix the filling ingredients well. Weigh out 10 grams (about 2 teaspoons) of filling and 45 grams (about 3 tablespoons) of dough for each piece. Flatten the dough ball, place the filling in the center, seal it well, then shape into a ball. Press into a well-oiled makroud mold.
- 4
Fry the makroud in hot oil over slightly below medium heat, frying about 6 pieces at a time until all are cooked.
- 5
Immediately dip the fried makroud in warm honey syrup and let them soak. Dip them twice, and a third time just before serving.
- 6
Garnish the edges with toasted sesame seeds and place an almond in the center.

Lavender Honey Syrup Lavender Honey Syrup
This syrup is a crowd pleaser. The flavor of the fresh lavender pairs wonderfully with the floral notes in the raw honey for a summer beverage that is delightfully reminiscent of running through a meadow... in your mouth. It goes great in iced coffee, lemonade, champagne, kombucha or a creative summer cocktail. It also makes a great gift. Enjoy!

Baklava with Walnuts and Honey Baklava with Walnuts and Honey
Delicious, crispy, and wholesome baklava from Crete, made with the best the island has to offer: top-quality extra virgin olive oil and pure honey. Baklava is a traditional Greek dessert that's easy to make and loved by many. We use walnuts, which are plentiful in Greece, layers of phyllo dough brushed with olive oil or butter, and a syrup flavored with cinnamon—or sometimes we use honey instead of syrup. This sweet treat is a staple in Greek homes for every celebration.
