Ruffled Milk Pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Grease a baking pan with some of the butter and set aside. Place one sheet of dough on the work surface with its long side parallel to the edge. Pressing with your hands on both short sides towards each other, shape the dough into a pleated form. Place the dough vertically in the center of the prepared baking pan. Repeat the process with the remaining dough sheets, continuing the spiral until the entire pan is covered. Evenly brush the melted butter over all layers of dough and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a medium saucepan. As soon as it begins to simmer, remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly. Stir in the vanilla. Carefully pour the milk mixture over the dough using a spoon. Bake for another 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Serve immediately, accompanied by tea or coffee.
