1 Box filo


2 Sticks butter melted or more





Custard





1 qt Milk


5 Eggs


1/2 c Farina cereal


1/2 c sugar





Syrup





1/2 c Sugar


1/2 c Water


1/2 c Honey


Grated zest from a lemon or an orange








First make the custard: scald milk, remove from heat, add sugar and farina and beat together well. Return to heat until thickened. Remove from heat.





Beat eggs well in separate bowl. Using beater, slowly mix some of the hot milk mixture into egg mixture on medium speed. Then add all egg mixture into milk mixture and blend well. Slowly cook mixture on low heat, stirring constantly until thick, about 20 minutes. Take care with the custard - it will curdle if the addition of the egg is not handled carefully. Cool completely and chill. Mixture will be thick and creamy.





Assemble: butter 6 whole filo sheets and overlap each in a buttered 9 x 13 pan so part of filo laps over edges of pan. Spread on all of filling. Flip edges of filo over to cover filling. Cover with 6 more buttered filo sheets and overlap and cover as before.Work quickly so filo doesn't dry out. Score 2/3rds through filo prior to baking. Bake in a 350 oven for 20 to 30 minutes or golden. Prepare the syrup by boiling all for 10 minutes. Pour hot syrup over cooled pastry. This is a very special Greek pastry.
