Directions
Cinnamon-Sugar Fried Milk, This creamy Spanish custard is served as a starter or as a light dessert It sounds funny but is very delicious! When making custards with extracts, stir the flavorings in after cooking because heat can dull their taste Plan ahead the mixture must sit in refrigerator for 3 hours or even overnight , I had a glut of whole milk and eggs to use up, and what a windfall that a random search led me to this recipe These are just dreamy! Hot and crusty on the outside and meltingly creamy within I do recommend that you use wholemilk to truly appreciate the rich, creaminess of these delctable squares I was interupted mid-recipe and made the dish up to refrigeration (step 4) – could only get back to it 2 whole days later to complete the coating and frying process – they were perfect! So there’s an added ‘make-ahead’ bonus I shall never have to wonder what to do with a glut of milk and eggs again – thank you!, This was a challenge and delicious thanks chef #696420
