Method

Preparation

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt. Melt the butter and combine it with the flour. Gradually add water until the dough comes together. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Cream Filling

In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.

Assemble the Bougatsa

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into thin sheets. Layer them in a greased baking dish, pouring some cream filling between layers. Finish with a layer of dough on top.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.

Serve

Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving. Serve warm.
