This afternoon I am making Galaktobouriko, a Greek custard and phyllo
dessert, to take to a pot luck dinner tomorrow. I love this stuff but there is way too much butter and sugar in it to have more than one serving every two and a half weeks, and it does not keep and it does not freeze. The custard filling calls for 6 egg yolks. My wife had picked up an extra dozen eggs from the local produce stand. I had a surprise when I cracked the first egg and saw that it was a double yolk. Then another surprise when the second one had a double yolk. I had four more surprises and it turned out that all 6 were double yolks. There was nothing on the carton about it. At any rate, I assembled the bottom layers of phyllo and brushed each sheet with melted butter, poured in that nice rich custard, topped with 8 more sheets of butter brushed phyllo and popped it into the oven. When it comes out of the oven I can pour the syrup over it and let it cool and set overnight. |
