For the Kataifi pastry base: 12 ounces Kataifi pastry 3/4 cup butter (a stick and a half), melted For the syrup: 2 cups water 2 cups granulated sugar 1 tablespoon grated orange peel 1 cinnamon stick For the custard: 6 cups whole milk 6 egg yolks 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons corn starch 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel 2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the whipped cream: 16 ounces heavy whipping cream For the garnish (optional): 3 tablespoons chopped almonds, pistachios, or walnuts Ground cinnamon How to Bake Greek Custard with Whipped Cream and Pastry (Ekmek Kataifi): For the pastry: Preheat the oven to 35o Degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 13 with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll the Kataifi pastry. Separate the dough with your fingers so that each strand is unknotted. Spread the pastry over the pan. Drizzle with the melted butter. Please the pan in the center of the oven and bake until crispy and golden brown. T his should take about 30-35 minutes depending on your oven. For the syrup: While the pastry is cooking, prepare the syrup. Pour the water into medium saucepan. Add the sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon stick.

Add the corn starch and flour and beat for another minute until the ingredients are well combined. Keep heating the milk just until it looks about ready to boil. This should take about ten minutes.
