Christina, I made your recipe for a party and it was hit! So many loved it and three asked for the recipe. I then made another one in a half sheet pan for a bigger party, adding more ingredients to serve more people. Only this time, I added a twist going on a hunch. I made the syrup from honey, lemon, and the juice of a jar of sour cherries (Morello) from Trader Joes to replace the water. I stirred many of the cherries into the syrup to heat them up, then I spooned them over the phyllo and poured the syrup over it. My hunch was right, the sweet lemon custard with the cherry honey syrup and the sour touch from the cherries was outstanding! People came for seconds, it was gone fast, and four people asked me for the recipe! I'm making it again this Sunday for my church picnic!
Hi Christine, if you do an update on this, consider this version. We call this dish Bougatsa in our family, I guess because we are Asian Minor Greeks. We ball up the sheet filo like a rag, a loose bag. This makes it very easy to seve as each makes a serving. I add slices of ripe bananas below the rags. Your recipe is better with fresh custard. We use water and sweet condensed milk, but in a pinch it works. We use powdered sugar instead of syrup. Again an easy version. I like your custard better. I have always been considered the best cook in the family, but your tips have so much improved me!!! Thank you!
Christine, I tried your recipe this weekend for the Crinkle Cake, it's amazing! Decadent, rich, but not overbearing and so so satisfying. I didnt have any cinnamon sticks at home and went with a sprinkle of the cinnamon powder - it worked! Thank you for sharing these recipes with easy to follow instructions. It was also my first time clarifying butter. :)
Oh my goodness, Christine, this was just phenomenal. thank you...another one to add to my list...and I must say I believe I just won the lotto....yep, even though I'm 100% Italian, I have an intense love for all things Greek....I've never had anything that I didn't love in the many Greek dishes that I've had. Next time I go to Italy, I'm going to take a trip over to Greece! Thank you again, Blessings
Hu Christine how are you l made this beautiful greek custard desert tonight my husband had seconds my daughter loved it it tasted amazing thank you thinking why l took soo long to make it. Was amazing thank you. 😊oh in the recipe it says use sugar for syrup but l used honey as you did in the video turned out amazing l love this cake.
Are family loves you Christina. Some of the techniques got lost across our third generation Greek American family. Your tips really restores those traditions. You are like a member of our family.
I've been watching videos all day long on different ways to make a Crinkle Cake and working with phyllo.. Your video. ..Hands down.. is the "Best I've seen"!❤ It was a breath of fresh air, funny and Educational..Cake looked Stunning and the recipe is my kind of perfect .. 👌 Thank you so much. Looking forward to watching your other creations. 😉. .
I learned everything about what to cook by watching my Italian family, but I learned how to cook through CC live as a kid. You have a gift explaining how and why you do everything. Thanks for sharing!
This reminds me of orange pie, one of the best things I ate while in Greece! Haven’t stopped thinking about it for years. I’d love to see you make that!
This has become one of my favorite desserts to make - Seven times since early March! And the clarified butter definitely makes it more delicious! The combination of crunchy phyllo and creamy custard, and then the honey syrup - OH MAMA!!! 😆. Thank you again!
Thank you so much, We have not only loved each recipe but thoroughly enjoyed making them! Cannot wait to try this one! Best wishes Dear to you and you're Family~
This made me cry! I tried one a month ago with a different recipe and my family had to have a third helping of the cake. Your recipe looks much better. I can’t wait to make it this weekend! Thanks!
You will have to make some adjustments but I'm sure there is an eggless option. I would try with some cornstarch to bind it. I hope this helps for the future.
WOW!That looks so good.Im definitely going to try your version.I keep seeing this and I want it everytime.lol.The honey syrup has got to be the best.Thank you.🙏💖🌠
This is simply mouthwatering, and looks wonderful. Your presentation is always on spot. Cannot wait to try passavura out, hope l spelt it correctly. All your dishes l've tried came out so good. This one is no exception. Thanks Christine, and continue giving us your best, like always. God bless you and your cooking
Looks delicious and seems easy enough to prepare. I'd be proud to serve it at any gathering. Do people prefer this over the traditional creek pudding you made?
Hmm that’s a good question. They are so different . I would have to say rice pudding is in its own category and people love it so it may have the edge. It they are so different
It looks wonderful! Can we make it in advance (eg in the morning) and then serve to the guests later in the afternoon? Or it must be prepared and served hot from the oven?
Oh my Lordy, that looks amazing, Christine!!! Leave it to you to make a phylo, custard, honey dessert... In 45 minutes, you say? I don't know how to spell "rag" in greek but it sure looks rich! Hey, Where've you been? I've missed you. Been traveling?
Thank you for tuning in. Yes , it's hard to spell and say rag in Greek but the its such a cool technique. .. I have not been travelling but could not produce new videos.
Loved this recipe!! I used simple syrup added a splash of vanilla and orange extract with the lemon juice next time I think I’ll add a little less syrup so it’s not as sweet for my preference .
So glad you made and loved it. Of course everyone has their own level of sweetness , so I say go for it. I already tend to make things less sweet. Thanks for watching
Hi Christine, would like to know if I make it a day ahead, what temperature for reheating? Will the result as good as freshly baked, very crispy? Thanks
My apologies , as I just now saw your questions. It is definitely best , the day it is baked. Because it is so simple to make , I always suggest that. I have balanced the recipe / quantity of sugar to include the syrup, otherwise it is too dry. It is not super sweet, as I have reduced the usual syrup quantity. I hope this helps.
Wait for it, wait for it, now that’s what I am talkin about!!!! Mama!!! You are beautiful n a fantastic chef!! Am surely trying this delish recipe!! Thank you!!🌷🌷👒🌸🦋🌷👒🦋🌸🌷🌷☘️☘️👏👏.. Batsavura!!!😅
It will keep for a few days in the fridge, although I prefer it slightly warmed to take the chill off , before serving. I'm not sure it would be ideal frozen, although I have not tried. Thank you
Hi Christine, I made your crinkle cake yesterday and it’s sweet and yummy. I am using around half of your size, but the height of the crinkled fillo pastry was a bit too low. Maybe I crinkled too much. Definitely would love making again next time 😋👍🏻 Thank you for your recipe!
Σίγουρα θα δοκιμάσω να φτιάξω την πατσαβουροπιτα αυτή!! Φαίνεται τόσο νόστιμη και εύκολη συνταγή!! Μόνο που με την θερμοκρασία σε Φαρενάιτ δεν μπορώ να υπολογίσω...Πολλά φιλιά και αγάπη από την Ελλάδα!!
@@ChristineCushing Yes, ma’am !! My grandmother’s name was Christine and I had just seen it somewhere and then this video uploaded so I was double overjoyed. 🥰💓🥰💓🥰
This is great! I am 100% Greek and I’m the only one left to pass down my grandmother’s recipes. I watched over the years and took notes but your videos are amazing and the closet if not her recipes come to life. The Greek bread perfect now three different times I’ve made it. A favorite with coffee and just any old time. My husband’s favorite is galatobouriko and this crinkle recipe is a snap to make verses the other more traditional way. Thank you I’m so excited that I’ve found you!
It works even better if you cook the phyllo part way (and I guess the apples too, then add the custard. The custard is usually cooked a little lower and not as long, so it won’t curdle and instead you get an even creamier layer mostly on the bottom 😊
The full recipe is on your PC below the video description just below where it says " show more". you click there and it will expand. On your phone its in the same place where you see the word ' more'. The recipe is not printable. I hope this helps.. Thank you
Christine, forgot to ask: If I skip the sugar lemon syrup, what difference does it ? Seems too sweet What is the purpose of putting a sheet at the bottom? Thanks again
Do I need to throw the eggshells on the floor?? Need to have an excuse before my wife kills me 🤣. What a simple, but simply gorgeous recipe oh Greek Goddess 😋
Seems like there are two type of phyllo in the store. Very thin sheets and thicker sheets. I didn't know when I bought the thicker sheets. Four sheets to a box. Pepperidge Farm, I think.

Thank you ! You can definitely make it in advance and leave it at room temperature, so it stays tender. Enjoy!
Hi..thank you for this recipe. Is possible to keep in the chiller and eat in other day? And stull crunchy on top? Thank tou for reply.
Amazing

Looks great. Can I use condensed milk
5:41 "Two words...Mama!" Ha ha. Love her!
Would it work if i added some cooked down granny smith apples on top of first baklava sheet
It should work, as long as cook out the liquid from the apples. I think it would be a great addition. I hope you try it.

Well all I can say is that according to my husband, that's the ultimate praise. I thank you ..

HOW MANY PREPOSALS IN A DAY ? 200 or 500.love the cake thank you.
Great
Hi Christine, I made your crinkle cake yesterday and it’s sweet and yummy. I am using around half of your size, but the height of the crinkled fillo pastry was a bit too low. Maybe I crinkled too much.
Definitely would love making again next time 😋👍🏻 Thank you for your recipe!
So glad you made it. Yes it sounds like you pressed it down a bit too much but that's an easy adjustment for next time. Thank you
Did you let cooked crispy phyllo cool before adding cold custard? Because custard sets almost immediately if it's right out of oven

Oh , I have never made Flaounes but know them . I will definitely have to try them out soon. Thank you
@@ChristineCushing Good luck!
I am thinking I may take the cinnamon stick out and freeze it for another cake in the future. Do you think it will work or am I wasting my time?
I am single and childless. If I had a family, I would make this for them.
Awwww you’re not alone in your loneliness 😅 🙏
this crinkle cake look so easy to make....is it better than galaktoboureko?
Its definitely easy but i wouldn't say ' better ' than galaktoboureko but similar . I hope you get to taste it.
I'm not sure anything is better than galaktoboureko...
Love you koukla mou ! Crinkle cake ! Po Po !
Thank you

how much honey for the sauce?

hahah. ! That would also be correct.
I know it’s freezing cold here in Toronto but what, no flowers? 😉
Not a good selection but thank you for noticing.

This is Albanian dish is called pacavure and in the Greece they do it with orange and Called portocalopita
What is phyllp
Do I need to throw the eggshells on the floor?? Need to have an excuse before my wife kills me 🤣. What a simple, but simply gorgeous recipe oh Greek Goddess 😋
haha! Well , perhaps you can make it the first time and once she tastes it you get license to pitch the eggs shells .... Thanks for watching
Seems like there are two type of phyllo in the store. Very thin sheets and thicker sheets. I didn't know when I bought the thicker sheets. Four sheets to a box. Pepperidge Farm, I think.
