Traditional Gianniotiko instructions
- First prepare the syrup by boiling all the ingredients together for 15 minutes, except the lemon juice. When the syrup has boiled, remove from heat and add the lemon juice..
- Heat the butter in a small pot until it melts..
- Take a large bowl and separate the strands of shredded dough making them fluffy..
- Prepare the filling for the Gianniotiko by adding all the ingredients together and mixing them into a bowl..
- Take 2-3 filo sheets together, brush them lightly with butter and place the shredded filo dough on the narrow end of the filo sheets..
- Add the filling for the Gianniotiko on top of the shredded filo dough and roll to close, starting from the narrow end of the filo sheets..
- You end up making a long roll. Cut into 3-4 equal pieces and place them in a baking tray brushed with butter so that they don't touch one another..
- Brush the Gianniotiko on top with plenty of butter and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 1 hour until they are golden brown..
- Remove the sweet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Pour the lukewarm syrup over the lukewarm sweet and let it absorb it for 15 minutes..
- Then, turn them upside down so that they absorb enough syrup on both sides..
- When the 15 minutes pass, then turn them over once more and let them absorb all the syrup. You store it at room temperature, not in the fridge. Good luck..
