YiayiaWatch Cooking Series Episode 6: Galatoboureko

YiayiaWatch shares her cooking recipes with the next generation. Come join us as we make Galactic Booty Call! I mean, Galatoboureko.
ATTENTION: The recipe Yiayia uses is posted below but Yiayia herself DOES NOT ALWAYS follow it.
Recipe:
Crema:
1/2 Gal. Milk
8 Eggs
2 Cups Sugar
2 Sticks Butter
2 Cups Semolina (Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat)
1 Lb. Phyllo
1 tsp. Almond Extract
Cinnamon
Syrup:
4 Cups Sugar
1 Lemon
3.5 Cups Water
2 Cinnamon Sticks
Syrup: Make Syrup first (Must be cold when poured on top of warm Galatoboureko). Bring sugar and water to a boil. Add 1 Teaspoon of lemon juice, cinnamon sticks and slices of lemon. Boil for 20 minutes.
Crema: Combine milk, sugar, semolina and almond extract in a pot over medium heat. Add 1 stick of butter. Beat eggs until frothy and slowly add to milk mixture. If too thick, add cold milk to make a smooth crema. Melt 1 stick of butter. In a buttered 15x9-inch pan, layer 10 sheets of phyllo, lightly brushing butter on each sheet. On top of the 10th sheet, sprinkle cinnamon and add crema. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of crema and layer 10 - 12 sheets of phyllo lightly brushing butter over each sheet. Make sure the last sheet has butter all over it, as this will form a nice golden brown top. Cut into 3x3-inch squares. Bake in a preheated 350⁰ oven for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. You will know when it is done when you shake the pan and the inside moves as one whole piece. Pour cooled syrup over Galatoboureko as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let sit for 1 hour before eating.

She's the cutest! Mr. Spyros came to our place here in Athens for his dinner before visiting Lefkada tomorrow morning. He told us about yiayia watch and all I have to say is that she's lovely. Greetings from Greece, looking forward to your next recipe yiayia!
