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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk (reserve about 50 ml), cornstarch, and sugar over medium heat. Whisk well until the cornstarch dissolves.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once set, slice the milk custard into rectangular or square pieces, approximately 2 inches in size.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Dredge each milk custard piece in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all pieces.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Transfer the fried milk pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the fried milk with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm as a delicious dessert or snack.
