Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Greek
- 450 gr. / 16 oz. phyllo
- 4 oranges
- 165 gr. / 6 oz. corn oil or canola oil
- 200 gr. / 7 oz. sugar
- 200 gr. / 7 oz. Greek yogurt
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 500 gr. / 1 lb. water
- 400 gr. / 15 oz. sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 orange rinds
- Start from the previous night.
- Unpack the phyllo and spread it on your counter in that way they do not overlap.
- Let it stay overnight to dry completely.
- Next morning.
- Crumble the phyllo sheets in confetti.
- First, we make the syrup.
- In a pot add all the syrup ingredients and bring to boil.
- Let it boil for 5 minutes from the moment it started boiling.
- Remove and let it cool while you make the pie.
- Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
- Boil one orange for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- In your blender mash the boiled orange to a smooth pulp.
- Take the juice of the rest 3 and the rind of the two.
- Take a bowl or in your stand mixer add the eggs and sugar and mix for a minute.
- Pour the corn oil and yogurt and mix at the lowest speed.
- Add the orange pulp, the orange rind, the orange juice and the vanilla and mix at the lowest speed.
- Add the baking and fold gently.
- In this batter slowly slowly start throwing the phyllo confetti in batches mixing with a spatula every time to incorporate.
- After we have added all the phyllo crumbles, let it stay for 5 minutes so the phyllo will suck as much batter as possible.
- Butter and flour a deep rectangular pan 25cm X 34 cm / 9 in. X 13 in.
- Pour the batter in the pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until the knife comes out clean and the pie has taken a nice golden color on top.
- Take it out of the oven and as it is hot from the oven pour with a ladle the cold syrup.
- Let it soak it completely and get cold.
- Serve as is or with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
