Ingredients
  

For the Phyllo Layers
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough Essential for creating the crispy, flaky texture; keep covered to maintain moisture.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted; adds richness and helps achieve a golden-brown finish.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup semolina flour Provides the creamy structure; may substitute with fine cornmeal.
  • 3 large eggs Bind the filling ingredients together.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the pie; honey can be used for a richer flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the greased baking dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat with six more sheets.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the semolina flour, eggs, granulated sugar, whole milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the semolina mixture over the prepared phyllo base evenly. Cover with remaining phyllo sheets, buttering each layer.
