Galactobouriko
2 quarts whole milk
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
1 cup farina
9 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (I use Nielsen-Massey)
1 pound unsalted butter
13 sheets Phyllo
Syrup
2 cups organic cane sugar
A few drops of fresh lemon juice
2 cups water

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
In a large saucepan, combine milk, cream, sugar, and 1 stick of butter. Heat until butter melts, then add farina and cook over a low flame until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set side.
3
Beat eggs; stir into the farina mixture. Then, using a hand mixer, beat for about 5 minutes. (With a KitchenAid you will only need about 3 minutes.) Stir in vanilla.
4
Melt butter. With a pastry brush, oil your baking pan with a little of the butter.
5
Place 8 sheets of phyllo in your pan, one at a time, brushing each one with butter before laying down the next. Pour slightly cooled custard mixture over these sheets. Cover with 5 more phyllo sheets, buttering between each one. Fold in edges so filling will not overflow.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and, while still hot, pour cooled syrup over top.
7
Combine syrup ingredients and boil gently. Let syrup cool before pouring on top of hot pastry.
