Directions:
Beat oil and sugar. Add eggs and beat well.
Add cognac, vanilla powder, cinnamon, orange juice, lemon juice, zest, ground cloves.
Mix well.
In a big bowl, combine this mixture with the flour. Add flour slowly until it makes a medium texture dough.
Take a piece of dough the size of a walnut and form into oval shapes. The mixture will feel oily. That's fine.
Bake at 210 degrees. Your oven may vary.

Syrup:
Dissolve sugar and honey in the water. Add cloves, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick.
Dip cooled Melomakarona in hot syrup turning a few times.
Remove with slotted label. Sprinkle walnuts, sugar if desired and cinnamon on top.

Note - either the syrup is hot or the biscuits. Not both or they will go mushy.
