Galatopita - Greek Milk Pie

semolina ((the fine variety))

corn flour (corn starch)

eggs

vanilla

lemon zest

1.25 litres milk (5 cups)

sugar (caster

butter

sugar

milk

cinnamon and icing sugar

Preheat your oven 180 deg C and prepare a 27 cm round shallow baking dish. Rub liberally with butter and sprinkle a few tablespoons of semolina flour to coat the base and sides of the dish. (see note 1)

In a large bowl combine the semolina, corn flour, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla. Whisk thoroughly to combine and set aside.

Heat the milk and sugar on medium heat. Be careful not to let the milk boil rapidly — allow it to come to a gentle simmer. (see note 2)

Slowly add one ladle of the milk to the semolina mixture and whisk until well combined. Repeat this step 2 more times and pour the tempered mixture back into the milk. Stir and allow the custard to thicken (this can take up to 5 mins), add the butter and whisk again. Pour the custard into the prepared baking dish.

For the topping combine the egg, sugar and milk in a ramekin and whisk well. Pour over the galatopita and brush, ensuring it covers the whole pie.

Bake in the oven for 45-50 mins. The galatopita is ready when it is puffed, and a skewer comes out clean. Allow the pie to rest and cool completely before serving. When serving, it&#39;s best to top each slice with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon and powdered sugar. (see note 3)

In this video I'm going to show you how to make galatopita - a Greek pie made with a milk-based semolina custard.
Galatopita is an "irresistible' Greek dessert - it's creamy, dreamy and just delicious!
The recipe consists of three parts:
First, we prepare the custard by combining the semolina, corn flour, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. 
Next up, heat the milk along with the sugar. It's important not to boil the milk and make it scalding hot.  (Keep it at a low simmer).  
Slowly add one ladle of the warmed milk to the semolina mixture and whisk until well combined.  This step needs to be repeated two more times.  We then add the tempered mixture back to the milk and cook until the custard thickens.  Add the butter, stir again and pour into a prepared baking dish.
Finally, we'll prepare the topping for the galatopita.  Combine the egg, sugar and milk in a ramekin and whisk well. Pour over the galatopita and brush, ensuring it covers the whole pie.
We'll bake the pie for 45-50 mins. Once cooked, it is essential to allow it to cool completely (approx. 4 hours) before serving.
Serve the galatopita with sprinkled ground cinnamon and powdered sugar.
