Leche frita, or fried milk - video recipe !

Ingredients

The custard :

• 4 cups milk
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 organic lemon peel
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup cornflour

The batter :

• flour
• 2 beaten eggs
• sugar

Preparation

• Put 3.5 cups of milk to boil, with the lemon peel and the cinnamon stick. Once it has boiled, let it infuse.
• Beat the yolks with the sugar until it gets creamy. In a bowl, mix together the cornflour and the remaining milk. Add this to the mix yolks + sugar.
  
• Take the cinnamon stick and lemon peel out of the milk, then gradually pour it into the previous mix, while whisking.
• Put it all back into the pot, on medium heat, and stir until it thickens (around 5 minutes).
  
• Cover a large dish with plastic foil, and pour the cream on it. Cover it with plastic foil as well so it won't form a skin. Put it in the fridge for a few hours.
• Unmold the custard, which should hold well. Cut it in cubes. Dip each cube of custard into flour, then into the beaten eggs.
  
• Heat some frying oil in a pan, then put the cubes in it. Fry every face until they are brown, then take them out of the oil.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon together, and dip each leche frita in it.
  
• There you are, enjoy your leche frita !
