I come from an extremely talented group of cooks. As a kid, my mom wanted to teach me how to make all of the yummy Greek recipes. Unfortunately, I was too stubborn to learn. After all, I once set toast on fire. Now, I am trying to figure them out before the traditions of my youth fade away.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of filo
• 7 cups of milk
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup Farina (this is found in the baby cereal section)
• 6 eggs
• 1.5 sticks of butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Syrup Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sugar
• 2.5 cups of water
• 1 cinnamon stick

Directions:

• Heat up the milk and sugar (turn oven to low).
• Mix in the Farina.
• Mix in the eggs (scramble them first).
• Mix in the vanilla.
• Mix in the half stick of butter.
• Mix until the mixture is thick, then remove it from the stove.
• Preheat the oven to bake at 375 degrees.
• Add butter to the bottom of your pan.
• Cut the filo dough in half, and add a spoon of the mixture to the cut dough.
• Wrap the mixture in the dough, then add some melted butter to the outside.
• Fill up the pan, then bake on 375 degrees.
• Put all of the syrup ingredients in a pot and heat (on low).
• Once the dessert cools, add the syrup to the individual pieces.
