Galatopita ~ Greek Milk Pie.

[Maya's Mama]

Galatopita is a wonderful and classic greek dessert. This video very simply explains the ins and outs of this recipe. It comes out sort of like a baked custard.

Oh, gosh, I remember making this - maybe 25 years ago??? I was into a very heavy Greek recipe phase then, lot of things with phyllo and feta. Not that I don't still like it, but generally phyllo takes a bit more effort than I am willing to put into things! Ah, for simpler times!

It would be nice if there was more than one recipe for it in the db.

Galaktoboureko is a similar dish, but with a phyllo crust and slightly different flavoring.

Sounds interesting, I might have to give it a try.

If you never tried it before I highly recommended, it's very tasty and there is variety of fillings you can use.

Marie Ann,
What other Greek deserts do you enjoy making?

Actually, it's not just the phyllo crust that makes galaktoboureko different from galatopita. Galaktoboureko also gets a syrup poured over which makes it VERY sweet. Galatopita is a very nice, plain, baked custard.
