I visited Chania 4 years ago and a good friend, offered me this orange pie... My husband and I fell in love with this particular sweet, I made some changes and wherever I serve it, everyone asks for the recipe... Irene, thank you very much for this wonderful sweet...

Steps

1

Cut the filo pastry into very small pieces from the previous day. At least 24 hours before you make your sweet so that it dries well.
2

Separate the white and the yolk of the eggs and beat the whites to a meringue.
3

Beat the yolks and the sugar strongly, add the yogurt, the zest, the oil, the vanillin powder and the baking powder and mix so that everything is well integrated.
4

Add the pieces of filo pastry and mix softly.
5

Finally, using a wooden spoon, add the meringue and mix very lightly.
6

Oil a baking tray, pour in the mixture and bake in a convection oven for about 1 hour at 170 degrees. (Do the trick with the knife to see if it is ready).
7

For the syrup, boil all the ingredients for 5 minutes and leave it to cool.
8

As soon as the sweet is out of the oven, pour the COLD syrup immediately over it. AttentionCOLD syrup, HOT sweet.
9

Let it cool and place in the fridge. This sweet can only be preserved in the fridge. Not at room temperature.
