4 cups of milk

2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 vanilla tubes
1/2 (half of kilo) pastry fine sheets
2/3 (two thirds of a cup) melted butter

Directions:
1. Boil the milk. Melt the butter in a stirring continuously. Add the hot milk stirring the cream thickens. Remove from stove and let the cream cool stirring occasionally so that it doesn’t get a crust on top. Beat eggs, yolks and vanilla in the mixer and blend them in the cream. Cover the pan with the cream with a plastic membrane so that it doesn’t get a crust and leave it aside.
2. In a big oven pan spread butter and lay out half the number of fine pastry sheets buttering each one of them with a brush. Spread on top all the cream and cover it with the rest of the pastry sheets buttering each one of them with the brush. Bake bougatsa at 200o C for about 30 minutes until the pastry gets a golden color. Serve it hot, cut in small pieces with a very sharp knife sprinkled with powdered sugar and a little cinnamon.
