2. Prepare Baking Pan:

   • Generously butter a 15 x 13 inch baking pan.
   • Sprinkle a generous amount of semolina to coat the pan, similar to flouring it.

3. Scald Milk:

   • In a large pot, scald the milk with 1 1/2 cups of sugar.
   • Taste the milk to determine sweetness. Add up to 1/2 cup more sugar if desired.

4. Add Butter and Semolina:

   • Add the butter to the scalded milk.
   • Once the butter has melted, slowly add the semolina in a thin stream, whisking constantly.

5. Thicken Mixture:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
   • Continue whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
   • The mixture will thicken quickly.

6. Incorporate Eggs:

   • Once the mixture is thick, remove it from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
   • Quickly whisk in the eggs, ensuring they are fully incorporated without curdling.
   • Stir in the pure vanilla extract for that delightful flavor.

7. Bake:

   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes.
   • The top of the custard should have lovely golden-brown patches when done.

8. Finish and Serve:

   • Remove the Galatopita from the oven.
   • Dust the top with a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra touch of flavor.
   • Allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Notes:

• Flavor Boost: If you’re looking to elevate the flavor profile, consider stirring in some freshly-grated lemon zest into the custard just before baking. This addition will add a bright, citrusy note to the pudding.

• Serving Suggestions: Galatopita is wonderful served warm or chilled, making it a versatile dessert for any occasion. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy it as a comforting treat on its own or as a delightful ending to a Greek-inspired meal.
