Mix 1 egg, 80 g orange juice, 20 g ouzo, a pinch of baking soda, 1-2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves.

Add 300 g soft flour and knead for 5-10 minutes until a soft and non-sticky dough forms.

Cut the dough into 4 parts and cover with corn starch, then set aside for 10 minutes.

Stretch the dough as thin as possible and cut into pieces of 8x15 cm.

Roll the dough pieces gently, ensuring not to roll too tightly to avoid uncooked centers.

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the dough rolls one by one over medium heat.

In a saucepan, combine 200 ml water, 150 g sugar, 1/2 cinnamon stick, and some orange peel, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Drizzle warm honey over the fried rolls and pour hot syrup on top, then sprinkle with walnuts.
