Coarsely crush the hazelnuts and keep them aside for the yufka layers.
Whisk the milk, eggs, sugar, and starch in a pot until smooth.
Cook the pudding for 8 minutes, stirring constantly so the eggs do not curdle.
Spread the pudding and hazelnuts between the buttered yufka layers.
Bake the borek in a 180°C oven for 28 minutes, until browned.
When lukewarm, slice with powdered sugar so the pudding does not run.
Serve the slices with chopped hazelnuts, keeping the cream inside on the plate without leaking.
💡 Tip: Spreading the pudding while lukewarm helps the layers stay evenly thick.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with powdered sugar on top, alongside tea.
