Pastilla with Milk Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb phyllo dough
• 4 cups milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Cinnamon powder
• Butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a baking dish with butter.
3. Melt butter in a pan and set it aside.
4. Take the phyllo dough and cut the sheets into 4 triangles.
5. Brush each triangle with melted butter and stack 2-3 triangles together.
6. Now take the stacked triangles and place them in the baking dish to form a layer at the bottom. Repeat this process until you have created several layers (usually 4-5).
7. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the dough turns golden brown.
8. While the dough is baking, prepare the milk mixture.
9. In a pan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch and stir until the mixture thickens.
10. Once the mixture has thickened, add vanilla extract and stir.
11. Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour over the milk mixture, ensuring it is evenly spread over the top layer of dough.
12. Sprinkle cinnamon powder over the top and place the baking dish back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
13. Remove the baking dish from the oven when the milk has set and the top is golden brown.
14. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
