Galaktoboureko
Galaktoboureko translates to 'milk pie' and is one of Greece's most cherished custard-filled pastries, found in bakeries nationwide.
A Greek custard pie encased in crisp layers of filo pastry, soaked in citrus-scented syrup — silky within, shatteringly crisp without.
Ingredients
Method
Heat milk, whisk in semolina and sugar, and cook until thickened into a custard. Cool slightly, then beat in eggs.
Layer half the filo sheets, brushing each with butter, in a baking tray.
Pour in the custard, then top with the remaining buttered filo sheets.
Bake at 180C for 35-40 minutes until deeply golden, then pour cooled syrup over the hot pie immediately.
Always pour cold syrup over a hot pie — this keeps the filo crisp instead of soggy.
