A Melamakarona Recipe

[d_kakavouli]

I asked my friend for her melamakarona recipe. She's from Greece so I'll need to do some conversions before making it. I have never made it, so I am wondering if this looks right. I just want to double check nothing is missing!

Ingredients:

For the Cookie:

● 500 g of semolina flour
● 250 g of all-purpose flour
● 250 ml of olive oil
● 200 ml of orange juice
● 100 g of sugar
● 2 tablespoons of baking powder
● 1 tablespoon of baking soda
● 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
● 1 teaspoon of ground cloves
● 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
● Zest of 1 orange

For the Syrup:

● 500 g of honey
● 250 ml of water
● 1 cinnamon stick
● 2-3 cloves
● Juice of half a lemon
● Finely chopped walnuts

Anything to add or subtract? She uses more spices than I've seen in other recipes so I am questioning it.

I’ve never made them, but the recipe looks like it would be nicely spiced.
If I had semolina flour, I’d try it today. I’ll need to shop first.

I can do the conversions myself but I am wondering if you can share for the American style of cooking? So cups instead of grams for example.

Maybe this will help others who are in different markets? If I end up doing the conversions I will come back and share in this thread.
