good morning to everyone and happy birthday!!
MELOMAKARON STARS
FOR THE LADIO MIGMA
3/4 cup corn
1/4 cooking fat cup
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup of orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
FOR THE DOUGH
1/2 Kg flour for all uses
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
syrup
1 cup honey
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
GARNISH
coarsely ground walnuts
grated clove
Beat in a strong mixer for 5′ its materials oil mixture. Stir dough ingredients , add the oil mixture and knead well. We open the dough to a thickness 5 from. and cut stars with a cup. Arrange them in a buttered pan and bake them 170 C, 30′ about minutes and the kitchen to bake up and down. (I mean no air)
Boil 5′ the ingredients of the syrup by removing the foam. Set it aside and wait for the stars to cook. As soon as they come out, we include the stars with the syrup in the pan. Leave them in the pan and turn them over for half an hour 3-4 times until they drink the syrup. As they are honeyed, dip the whole star in the mixture of walnut and clove.
I like them because they are small and they are eaten immediately!! We make them every year with my mom Dimitra!! Good luck and happy holidays!!
