Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and lightly butter a medium baking dish.

  2. Tear or fold the phyllo into loose layers and place it evenly in the dish.

  1. Brush the phyllo lightly with melted butter so the top crisps while baking.

  2. Bake the phyllo until lightly crisp and pale golden.

  3. Whisk eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and a splash of milk until smooth.

  4. Warm the remaining milk until hot but not boiling, then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture.

  5. Pour the custard evenly over the baked phyllo layers.

  6. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden, then cool before slicing.

Tips

Pour the custard slowly so it reaches the lower phyllo layers instead of sitting only on top.
