My son came back from the university and told me: “while I was in the plane, I had an idea for a sweet! It should have a pie crust, filled with milk pie (galatopita- a traditional Greek sweet), and apricot jam on top”.
I could not say no to that, so I made it!!!

Galatopita in Greece is a sweet that can be made with or without fyllo. I usually make it without.

Steps

1

For the pie crust: mix the flour and salt. Add the cold butter cut in small cubes and crumble it with your fingers (or a pastry cutter) until it resembles coarse meal. Add the cold water and mix just until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough and let it in the fridge for half an hour.
2

Roll your dough with a rolling pin (I use a silicon mat to roll my dough on) until it’s big enough to cover the pan and the sides of the pan.
3

For the filling: in a pot add all the ingredients except the eggs. Let it boil until you get a thick cream. You have to stir all the time. Let it cool a bit and add the eggs (already beaten). Mix well.
4

Fill the pie crust with the cream. Bake (180C) for 40 min.
5

Remove from the oven and spread the jam on top. Ready!

Greece

I live in Greece but I love to try and experiment with food from all over the world! I have 2 children that are grown up now and off to the University, but I consider it my great success that they both love to try new things, they can cook and actually love to do it! It is my firm belief that everyone can cook and the only thing to do is get in the kitchen and try it!
