My Greek friend Steph invited a couple of girls (and Alexei) over to learn how to make spanakopita… from scratch!
It’s a bit of an elaborate project:
Kneading the dough
Rolling out the dough
Cutting out circles to lay upon each other
Making ‘mille-feuille’ to get the phyllo-like pastry. Careful to butter every. single. layer.
Mixing ingredients and stuff.
Alexei decided to take a break from watching Cars to help out. Such a great helper. Haha!
Making the filling and preparing the baking sheet.
Assembling all the layers using lots of butter!
2 hours later… 😉
I’m glad this was done in good company.
