Fried Milk Squares




Source of Recipe

List of Ingredients




5 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups cold milk
peel of 1 lime, white pith removed
5 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fine bread crumbs (or flour)
oil for frying
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon + 1/2 cup sugar, mixed


Recipe



Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of the milk. Set aside. In a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining milk, the lime peel, sugar, and butter until it almost reaches a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon until the custard comes to a boil and has thickened. Remove the lime peel and pour the custard into an 8 x 8-inch Pyrex dish, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Cut the custard into 2-inch squares, dip the squares into the beaten eggs, and then into the crumbs, covering all sides. In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until very hot but not smoking, and cook the squares until brown, 2 minutes on each side, turning carefully with a spatula. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar to taste, and serve hot.
