Ready In: 1 hr 30 mins
Serves: 15
Ingredients
- 6 cups whole milk
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 12 sheets phyllo dough
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
Directions
- Pour milk into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the semolina, cornstarch, 1 cup sugar and salt so there are no cornstarch clumps.
- When milk comes to a boil, gradually add the semolina mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a full boil.
- Remove from heat, and set aside, keeping warm.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer at high speed.
- Add 1/2 cup of sugar, and whip until thick and pale, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Fold the whipped eggs into the hot semolina mixture.
- Partially cover the pan, and set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish, and layer 7 sheets of phyllo into the pan, brushing each one with butter as you lay it inches.
- Pour the custard into the pan over the phyllo, and cover with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with butter as you lay it down.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top crust is crisp and the custard filling has set.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the remaining cup of sugar and water.
- Bring to a boil.
- When the Galaktoboureko comes out of the oven, spoon the hot sugar syrup over the top, particularly the edges.
- Cool completely before cutting and serving.
- Store in the refrigerator.
