Greek Bougatsa Recipe (Thessaloniki's)
Crispy and flaky smooth and filled with a semolina custard – these are the textures that make bougatsa so great. There are hints of lemon and vanilla and a sweetness that evens it all out. But what is bougatsa?
Bougatsa is a traditional Greek pastry often served for breakfast or dessert. It is made by layering filo pastry a thin unleavened dough used in Greek Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisine and filling it with a sweet milky semolina pudding.
The recipe also includes eggs vanilla sugar butter lemon juice and zest and icing sugar and cinnamon for topping. There aren’t really that many ingredients which is the beauty of this recipe. This recipe has two main parts: making the custard and then topping the filo pastry with the custard. The oven does the rest of the work. Let the bougatsa cool slightly before serving. This helps the custard set and makes the pastry easier to slice.
