Step:

  1. Heat the milk with the sugar and slowly add the semolina. 

  2. Add the vanillin powder and stir until the custard thickens and bubbles.

  3. As soon as the custard thickens add the butter and stir. 

  4. Take a round baking tray of 36 cm (or a tart pan), butter it and spread the filo pastry (don't butter the last one since the custard will go on top). 

  5. Pour the custard and fold the sides of the pastry sheets that stick out.

  6. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 180 °C using both radiant elements (take care that the bottom is well cooked). 

  7. Prepare the syrup by boiling all the ingredients for 10 minutes. 

  8. When the sweet is lukewarm pour the syrup over it while hot. 

  9. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
