Ingredients

• 12 tablespoons melted Ghee or clarified butter , divided
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.13 teaspoons table salt
• 14 sheetss frozen phyllo dough , thawed
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 5 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 1 tablespoon butter in bottom and up sides of a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate.
2. 2 Combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
3. 3 Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board or clean work surface; brush butter over 1 side. Carefully scrunch up phyllo by pushing the short sides towards another to create a rope.
4. 4 Loosely wrap into a coil and place in the center of the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and butter, placing and forming around the center coil to form a concentric circle, packing them in tightly.
5. 5 Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the spiced sugar mixture on top.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
7. 7 While phyllo bakes, heat milk and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat.
8. 8 Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and remaining spiced sugar mixture in a bowl; gradually add hot milk, whisking constantly, until combined. Immediately pour spiced milk over phyllo in the baking dish and return to the oven.
9. 9 Bake until custard is just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
