Butter an 11 x 8-inch pan.

For custard, in saucepan over low heat, bring milk, sugar, the 1 1/2 cups butter and vanilla extract to near boil. Stir constantly, gradually adding cream of wheat and cream of rice. Stir until thick. Empty into bowl to cool.

Place layer of phyllo and brush with melted butter. Continue until half of sheets are used. Wrap remaining phyllo in plastic to keep from drying.
