    Galatopita (Greek Milk Pie) Recipe

    Yields: 1 round cake (24cm)

    Prep time: 15 mins | Bake time: 45 mins

    Ingredients

    Milk: 1.25 liters (about 5 cups) whole milk

    Semolina: 150g (approx. 1 cup) fine semolina

    Sugar: 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar

    Eggs: 4 large eggs (plus 1 extra egg for the glaze)

    Butter: 50g (3.5 tbsp) unsalted butter

    Flavorings: 1 tsp vanilla extract, zest of 1 lemon (or orange)

    Topping: Ground cinnamon and powdered sugar for dusting

    Instructions
    Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Generously butter the 24cm cake pan and lightly coat it with a little semolina to prevent sticking.

    Heat the Milk: In a large pot, combine the milk and half of the sugar. Heat over medium heat until it starts to steam (do not let it boil over).

    Make the Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Slowly pour the fine semolina into the hot milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

    Thicken: Keep stirring until the mixture thickens into a heavy cream. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.

    Assemble & Glaze: Pour the custard into the prepared pan. For a golden finish, whisk an extra egg with a splash of water and brush it over the top.

    Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and the center is set but still has a slight jiggle.

    Cool & Serve: Let it cool completely in the pan—this is crucial for the custard to set so you can slice it. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.
