- At the end you will whisk through your Table spoon of butter.
Assembling the Galaktoboureko:
- Start by buttering all of your tray
- The start layering the bottom which is roughly 8/10 sheets of filo and buttering lightly each layer as you go.
- Once you custard is ready you will then pour it into your filo layered tray.
- You then continue to layer all of the filo sheets until they are finished & you will leave one sheet to place nicely on top.
- Cut the galaktoboureko to the size you like
- Butter the final layer of filo & then you will splash some water onto the pastry after you have buttered the final sheet of filo.
- Place the galaktoboureko in the oven at 180 degrees for about 50/60 minutes and until it is crisp & golden brown.
