Mix all dough ingredients except flour and baking powder well.
Add flour and baking powder and knead into a soft dough with the consistency of an earlobe.
Form dough pieces the size of an egg yolk, flatten them slightly with your hands, add about a tablespoon of walnuts inside, and seal well.
Place the pieces on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C top and bottom until golden brown.
After removing from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then pour the cooled syrup over the hot dessert.
The dessert is ready to serve after it absorbs the syrup.
