How to Make Fried Milk
- Oil or spray an 8x11 inch glass baking dish.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until combined.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup whole milk until smooth.
- Add 2 large egg yolks and 1 large whole egg. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is light and fully combined.
- Whisk in 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups whole milk over moderate heat until small bubbles form around the edges.
- Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, tempering the eggs to prevent curdling.
- Return the entire mixture to the saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens to a consistency thicker than mayonnaise (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Let cool slightly to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until very firm.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
- In a shallow pie plate, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons whole milk.
- Spread 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in another shallow pie plate.
- Once firm, cut the chilled custard into 24 equal-sized rectangles.
- In a large, deep nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches of 6, dip each custard rectangle into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the flour, gently pressing to adhere.
- Carefully place the floured custard into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 5 minutes, turning once or twice, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the fried custard to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Immediately sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Repeat steps 18-21 with the remaining custard rectangles.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
