This recipe was a disaster! The phyllo dough was too thick and the filling was too runny. I ended up throwing it away.

I've made this portokalopita several times now and it's always a hit. The orange syrup is the star of the show, it soaks into the phyllo dough perfectly. I like to serve it with a dollop of whipped cream.
