making this the 3rd time now. my godma loves it so i bake these everytime i meet her. no one I know, knows about these cookies haha (coming from se asia). i got to try these when i was in germany and my hostdad was greek. introduced them to me and i was hooked. was so good. thank you akis for sharing the recipe!!
OMG WHAT he actually made an english version 😅 i made these for christmas using his greek video as reference lmao. anyway the outcome was still delicious and everyone LOVED it!
Greetings from Albania Akis😍 I tried this recipe today and they are veryyy delicious. I always wanted to cook these, but didn’t know how,until I found your channel. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I suggest everyone to try it. You will not be disappointed ☺️ Keep it up with the great work😊😍
We just got back from Greece. We had these cookies and fell in love with them. We made them today and they turned out just like the ones we had in Athens. Thank you for recipe.
Πωπωπω!!! Ακη γελαω με τη προφορά!! Επισης η μελωδικη ελληνικη φωνη δεν αλλαζει με τίποτα ειτε μιλαμε αγγλικα, γερμανικα, γαλλικαα... Χιιιιλια ευχαριστω που ανεβαζεις συνταγες στα αγγλικά! Thanks for sharing it in English!! Χρονια πολλα, νασαι καλά!
My Yaiyai use to make everything from scratch or fresh, this recipe was one of them as a kid she had a whole tub of them and i would eat a ton straight away haha, they are just too good.
Bravo Akis! Your recipe is the best one online that I've come across. Great instruction too! The semolina is key. I also like to add a little Cognac to the dough, but unlike you (and so many others on UA-cam)--I just toss everything into my Kitchenaid and the dough comes out perfect ever time. Even if it's not perfect (sometimes a little on the dry side), it really doesn't matter b/c they get dipped in the honey/orange/lemon rind/cinnamon stick syrup... Just made them for my Serbian family and everyone loves them. Kali orexi to all!
I did this as well, but half of the quantity. Also, I reduced the amount of sugar, as it was a bit too much. Also, I added a twist to the recipe: ground ginger. I know it's not Christmas in May but with this recipe and the lockdown it's just like in December. Goes well with mulled wine. Thanks Akis for the recipe! I love Greek cooking!
From romania I send all the best for you and your family.i made it today melamakaroma,this recipe reminds me of grecce,so soft,so tastefull , so easy to do essence of Grecce,thnks for your hard work and for sharring us your recipes,
Ella! My mouth is watering like crazy. I love these cookies!!!! I worked w/ Greek girls for many years and they had me loving them! I never realized how hard to was to make them!!! I DO make good Glalaktoburiko though... :) Thank you so much for your demonstration!!
This recipe reminds me so much of traditionel turkish cookies called kalburabasti!:)) Turkey and Greece have very similiar cuisines, as a turk I love greece and greek food:)) great channel!
Even though it may not be Christmas I want to make these now! Thank you for this wonderful recipe Aki! It definitely will taste even better if I make these in Greece this summer!
Your melomakarona look like my Greek mom's and I like that you measure ingredients by weight. I don't have a single written recipe from my mom and I have to cross-reference and use my memories to cook like her, so this is very helpful.
Just made them with success. Thanks for sharing. A small comment. When the first set of, say 20 of them, comes out of the oven, dipping the first couple of them in the syrup goes according to plan. However after 4 or 5 have gone into the liquid, the syrup is not anymore cool. Yet you can't wait for it to cool down again as the cookies have to be soaked while warm. So an alternative would be to either separate the liquid in parts or better shower them from the top... (?)
Put the syrup in the fridge. In this way, it becomes cool faster and you won't have to wait for 4 hours. The syrup will be cold by the time you prepare and bake the cookies. Plus, in this way, no matter how many hot cookies you dip inside the syrup, its temperature won't rise up too much. :)
There is an alternative to this. Me and my mom have done it this way for years and thought Akis was crazy for doing it the other way around. We let the cookies cool down, and dunk them into the warm syrup. We find this way works better because the cookies have a less chance of crumbling, and the warm sryup seeps it's way into the cookies. The cookies absorb it weither they are cold or warm. Just remeber: Cold syrup, warm cookies. Warm syrup, cold cookies. That's the only two ways it will work. So, if your cold sryup ever gets warm, try it out! Let the cookies get cool, then warm up the sryup on the stove top. Although they might take 2 hours to cool down. So yea fridge is best bet if you already went the cold sryup route.
We have a similar dish here as well, but this is waayyyy more flavourful for sure, awesome! The whole family loved it, Akis! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This guy is sexy. I love his videos and recipes because they remind me of my childhood with my yia-yia and my mom but darn my mind goes crazy when I watch him cook. A man that is good in the kitchen and looks that good. All I can say is HELLO!!
Just made them and they came out fantastic. Everyone loved them. Only one thing I only dipped them in the syrup for 2-3 seconds, otherwise they fell apart.
Aki mou, ta melomakaranosa sou are Delicious! And the recipe is so simple even I can do it! Woooauuu! Have a great Xmas! Enjoy the season, take some time to chill and enjoy the family! Take care!
Akis.. Is there anything you make I won't 'Like'..?? I'm feeling like a stalker lol .. The best neighbours I ever had, were Greek. I remember when my friend Maria's Mom would bake Koulourakia and Kourambiedes - they were the best!! I am definitely trying these babies - they look delicious.. Thanks for sharing!! :D
You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions! ; )
Credits should also go to this camera man...The angles are just amazing!
Melomakarona are a greek treat we make traditionally in Christmas time. There is no Christmas without melomakarona!

Yes. Year round. Never be without them.
@@Agapy8888I'm not going to wait for Christmas to make these, but I think they would be perfect for Easter as well.
@@larsedik
Perfect. They are so delicious.
I also leave them plain. No syrup for folks who are on low carb diet

Χρονια πολλα, νασαι καλά!
I saw this on your Greek channel and I really wanted to make it and now this English video makes it so much easier!!
My Yaiyai use to make everything from scratch or fresh, this recipe was one of them as a kid she had a whole tub of them and i would eat a ton straight away haha, they are just too good.

These look better than my moms I am going to make these cookies and surprise my Greek family !
Pati Manos oo
I onced had a similar recipe. But this one Akis.... I just made them and they are mind-blowing.
Huge thumbs up for this one!
I did this as well, but half of the quantity. Also, I reduced the amount of sugar, as it was a bit too much. Also, I added a twist to the recipe: ground ginger. I know it's not Christmas in May but with this recipe and the lockdown it's just like in December. Goes well with mulled wine.

Have you halved the syrop ingredients too? Good job!
Bravo sou Aki! Great video, well explained and they look so delicious! Keep those recipes coming! Greetings from Montreal , Canada! Kales yiortes!
From romania I send all the best for you and your family.i made it today melamakaroma,this recipe reminds me of grecce,so soft,so tastefull , so easy to do essence of Grecce,thnks for your hard work and for sharring us your recipes,
I love making and eating these delightful Greek cookies. Sometimes I buy them from a Greek restaurant. They freeze well too.
I'm hungry all the time!,thats the problem with watching Akis videos. Well done mate, awesome work.
Ella! My mouth is watering like crazy. I love these cookies!!!! I worked w/ Greek girls for many years and they had me loving them! I never realized how hard to was to make them!!! I DO make good Glalaktoburiko though... :) Thank you so much for your demonstration!!
Glalaktouburiko (the Greek custard dessert) is the most difficult dessert to make. If you can make that, cookies will be easy peasy.
did u marry one of them to continue the long steady flow of them?
Ευχαριστώ πολύ! I hope my Γιαγιά will be proud when she tries them this year!
Hi Aki! I just made your recipe for the first time and the melomakarona turned out great...Eftharisto! and Merry Christmas!
