Method

Step 1 of 6

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edge of the saucepan. Remove from heat.

Step 2 of 6

Using an electric beater, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Gradually stir in milk then add semolina in a steady stream.

Step 3 of 6

Stir constantly, over a medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon rind, vanilla and 40g butter. Stir until butter has melted. Cover surface with baking paper. Cool.

Step 4 of 6

Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 20cm round cake pan. Melt remaining butter in a small saucepan. Place a sheet of filo onto a flat surface. Brush with butter. Repeat 3 times. Line prepared baking pan with filo stack, leaving ends to overhang. Repeat layering with remaining 4 sheets of filo. Place second filo stack into cake pan, across the first layer. Spoon cold custard into filo shell. Fold overhanging filo over custard. Brush with butter.
