Derived from the ancient Greek láganon pasta, Greek women traditionally made hilopítes at the end of the summer, laying them to dry and covering them with clean white sheets. Following tradition, these hilopítes are made from durum wheat semolina, fresh pasteurized eggs and whole milk (not powdered!) and are slowly air-dried to retain their full flavor.  They can be enjoyed plain, with sauce, or as an accompaniment to any meat dish.
