Ingredients

450 g puff pastry, frozen
1 liter milk
150 grams sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar

For the filling:

50 g date (s)
50 g hazelnuts, chopped
50 g desiccated coconut
50 g currants

Instructions

Separate the puff pastry sheets, let them thaw briefly and bake them side by side on a tray in a preheated oven at 180 ° C until they turn golden yellow. Then let cool and tear into pieces (similar to Kaiserschmarrn).
Now put half of the puff pastry in a greased, ovenproof dish, distribute the ingredients for the filling on top and cover with the remaining pieces of puff pastry so that everything is about 2 cm high.
Heat the milk, add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Pour the still hot milk over the puff pastry. Let the mass stand for about 10 minutes to swell, then put it in the preheated oven (180 ° C) and bake for about 20 minutes until the surface turns golden brown. Then let it cool down and serve with tea.
Umm Ali (in German: Ali`s mother) is popular with locals and tourists alike and is easy to prepare.
