and blend until well mixed and smooth. Put
the mixture in a plastic ball and gently
fold in the sifted flour until a dough-like
consistency is achieved. Mould the dough
into oval shapes by hand, approx 6x3 cm.

a moderate oven 180C until light golden
brown. Whilst the biscuits are cooking
prepare the syrup by putting all the
ingredients in a saucepan and bring slowly
to simmering point. When the syrup
becomes thickened it is ready.When the
biscuits are ready, dip them one by one
into the syrup until well coated.
7. Layer onto a dish,
sprinkling each layer with a
generous handful of crushed
walnuts mixed with cinnamon
and sugar.
Continue layering and sprinkling
until all the biscuits are piled
onto the plate.
