Smyrna-Style Dessert with Mastic
An easy dessert that's so fragrant! A customer of my mother's gave us this recipe, which they used to make in Smyrna. We loved it as kids and made it all the time, especially in the summer! I tweaked it a bit by using half flour and half cornstarch for a smoother texture.
