Milk pie (galatopita)

"Galatopita" is the greek name for this pie that can be translated literally to "milk pie" and which is actually a cream pie.
If you have kids at home they will love it! Keep some of the cream and serve it to small bowls with cinnamon on top and you will drive them crazy :)))

and they will be more patient for the final result... the full pie!

Ingredients
6-7 layers of "filo" pastry
1 lt of milk
2/3 cup of sugar
1 cup of flour (approximately) + some corn flour 
3 eggs
vanilla flavor
2 spoonfuls of butter
Olive oil
some cinnamon

Procedure
Put in a small casserole the milk, add the sugar, the vanilla and the flours. Boil in medium fire and mix continuously until it starts to thicken enough.







Take out of the fire, add the butter, mix well and then add the eggs that you have previously beaten well as for an omelet. Mix once again and your cream is ready. (Here is the time, if you have kids to take some out in a bowl and give it to the kids ...)





Oil a big oven tray (quite deep) and put the layers of filo by adding a few "lines" of olive oil to each one of the them and by letting them about 5cm hanging out of the tray all around (see the photos).
Roll the exceeding filo all around to create a barrier and empty the cream inside it.








Sprinkle as much cinnamon as you like :) on top.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees of Celsius and fan for about 30min or until it gets a nice color.
