Instructions
- Heat the milk with the sugar without boiling it, then flavour it with the orange blossom water.
- Dissolve the cornflour in 250 ml of cold milk, then pour this into the rest of the hot milk and thicken, whisking, until you have a light cream.
- Quickly dip each güllaç sheet in the flavoured milk to soften it, without letting it fall apart.
- Lay a layer of sheets in a deep dish, then sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
- Cover with a layer of cream, then repeat, finishing with cream.
- Dust with cinnamon and pistachios, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
