Cooking

In the mixer bowl pour the oil and start to whisk.

Not stopping to whisk, add the sugar.

In continuing to pour orange juice.

Then soda to extinguish it is not necessary. And all components should be added in the sequence that I describe.

Then vodka,...

... cloves,...

... cinnamon,...

... orange peel.

Walnuts, lightly crushed in a mortar, then send in the total mixture.

Gradually add flour, kneading the dough. When the mixer will handle knead with your hands. But remember that we may need less than 1.5 kg.

The dough should be very soft, oily, plastic, nucleases hands.

Take a small piece and roll out to 1.5 cm thick.

Cut biscuits. Or you can sculpt with your hands small oval patties.

Lay out cookies on a baking sheet with with rows (you can help with a spatula or knife to transfer it to the pan), leave a place, because the cookies will increase slightly. Bake in a preheated 180 oven for about 15-18 minutes, depending on thickness and size of cookies. I baked it 15 minutes.

Water, sugar, and honey with cinnamon to boil the syrup. Cook for 2-3 minutes after boiling.

Ready hot biscuits spread in a larger size pan.

Pour the syrup, pour on top of biscuits. The level of the syrup should reach to approximately mid-thickness of the cookies. Leave for a few hours, then turn over carefully. In General, cookies should stay in the syrup for 8-10 hours. If you cook in the evening as I leave for the night!

The final stage-spread biscuits in dish and top sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Ready!!!
