Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 80 g Cornstarch
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 15 g Butter
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Oil for frying
- 10 g Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk (reserve about 50 ml), cornstarch, and sugar over medium heat. Whisk well until the cornstarch dissolves.
Add the remaining 50 ml of milk and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth and creamy custard-like consistency. This will take approximately 5–7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined shallow baking dish and spread evenly. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until completely firm.
Once set, slice the milk custard into rectangular or square pieces, approximately 2 inches in size.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. Place all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and spread breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Dredge each milk custard piece in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all pieces.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F). Carefully fry the breaded milk custard pieces in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried milk pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Optionally, dust the fried milk with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm as a delicious dessert or snack.
