Galaktoboureko – Greek Custard Pie


Galaktoboureko is a Greek dessert of semolina custard in filo. The name means “milk börek”. It may be made in a pan, with filo layered on top and underneath and cut into square portions, or rolled into individual servings. It is served or coated with a clear, sweet syrup. Wikipedia
