The sweets that are a “blessing” for the pilgrims of the monastery. Humble materials that “create” the finiki syrup sweet that customary comforts the heart…
Finiki dessert from the Ikosifinissa Monastery
Ingredients
2 cups seed oil
1 bottle beer blonde
1 baking powder
All-purpose flour “as much as is needed” for the dough to be soft.
For the syrup
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
1 stick of cinnamon
How to prepare
In the mixer bowl put all the ingredients together after sifting the flour and whisk until you have a soft and pliable dough.
Shape into round balls and press a little on the top. Put them on a greased baking sheet and bake in a well preheated oven at 180 °C until golden brown.
At the same time we make the syrup.
In a saucepan add water, sugar and cinnamon.
Mix with a wooden spoon and bring to a boil.
Then remove it.
Once we remove the finikia hot from the oven we pour the hot syrup.
It is like a poem …
If we want we can sprinkle with cinnamon or add walnuts to the dough.
