Preparation

Step 1


Galatopita is Greek dessert and one of all-time favourites as it is not too sweet and very, very easy to make. Although similar in many ways to the dessert known as Galaktoboureko, this pie is not meant to be syrupy, nor does it require any phyllo. Creamy semolina custard is baked until golden then bathed in sweet syrup. An easy custard pie that doesn’t require a pie crust or shell. We can find similar recipes in other countries.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

On stove top, bring milk almost to a boil in a saucepan, and then add butter, sugar and semolina making sure to stir continuously over the heat until a thick creme is formed, then turn off the heat and let stand for a couple minutes to cool slightly

Beat the eggs and add them to the thickened mixture and incorporate them well with a whisk.

Butter/oil the sides and bottom of a pie dish or other high-walled oven pan and pour in the thickened mixture, then place in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour until the top has browned (see picture), then turn off the oven but do not remove the pie for another 15 minutes.

Once the pie is removed from the oven, let it stand to cool for a couple hours and serve it topped with icing sugar/cinnamon.
