Steps
1Combine water, sugar, maple syrup, cloves and sliced lemon in a saucepan to make the syrup. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to very low. Simmer for 5 minutes then set aside. Allow to cool down completely then place into the fridge.
2 Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) bottom heat. Combine semolina, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk together. Then add wet ingredients - lemon juice, maple syrup and olive oil
3Mix with your hands until combined, sticky but still a bit loose.
4Split the mix into 16 portions and shape each one into almond-shaped cookies. Here is how to shape them (YouTube short). Arrange on top of a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake at the bottom of the oven for 15 minutes.
5Add cooked, still hot, cookies to a deep dish. Ideally, they should be placed in a single layer all the way to the dish’s edges.
6Take the syrup out of the fridge and pour over the cookies. Garnish with crushed walnuts. Place in the fridge for a minimum 4 hours or overnight to allow the cookies to soak in the syrup.
