I added some of the butter to the custard filling. We all loved it. I saw a review on the other recipe that said you need to use at least 10 layers of phyllo on the bottom, and I may try that next time. Also, I added a little Grand Marnier and a cinnamon stick to the syrup for extra flavor. I may try using a bigger pan next time. Not difficult to make, and very impressive.

Awesome! Yummy! It is quite a bit of work... but it is well worth it. Don't try making this when you are rushed. It needs a fair bit of time and patience. My whole family really enjoyed this dessert!

If you want an easy Greek dessert, make rice pudding. If you want a mind-blowing one, make this. Although time-consuming, it wasn't terribly difficult. I couldn't find semolina flour, so I used all-purpose, which made the custard lumpier than I would have liked, but once it was baked the lumps disappeared. I have sinceread elsewhere that farina can be substituted for the semolina. Aside from using all-purpose flour, the only change I made was adding a little cinnamon to the syrup. It was an excellent addition, giving the syrup a little more oomph. The custard was a little grainier than I expected, but that may have been my own fault, for the way I combined the egg mixture and the flour-milk mixture. Still incredibly delicious, though.

I halved this recipe and used wonton wrappers since I had no phyllo. Thank you.

I made the recipe today for the first time and it turned out amazing. It reminded me of the galaktoboureko I get from the Greek Bakery but better. Definitely worth the effort to make. I used a pan that was bigger than the recipe called for so I increased all the ingredients proportionately and it came out great!

Save a ton of fat calories and make without a crust. Serve as a custard with the syrup and enjoy!!

This was amazing! Used it for a ladies dessert while planning a vacation to Greece this summer. Slight modifications only: I used less than 1/2 of the sugar water mixture because I sprinkled a mixture of cinnamon and icing sugar powder on the top before serving (sprinkle after you've cut it). I used a good quality pizza cutter to cut it. This worked really well. Lots of oouuwwss and auuwwees before and after. My daughter even took some pictures of it. Great success.
