Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and melt the butter.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, then add the milk, flour, semolina and vanilla until you get a smooth cream.
3. Grease a baking dish and lay the pastry sheets in it, brushing each one with melted butter.
4. Pour the cream over the pastry, then cover with a few buttered sheets.
5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden.
6. While it bakes, heat the sugar with the water to make a light syrup, then pour it over the pie as soon as it comes out of the oven.
