Steps for making fried milk
Preparation of the milk dough
In a saucepan add the sugar.
Add the lemon peel and the cinnamon stick. It is important that the lemon peel does not have the white part because it is bitter.
Add 350 milliliters of milk. The remaining 150 milliliters reserve to mix with the flour.
Place the milk on the fire and bring it to the boil. As soon as it starts to boil, stir and remove it from the heat.
Leave the milk covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
In a separate container add the flour, salt and stir.
Add the yolks and a little milk. Stir very well and when you stop seeing the lumps, add the remaining milk.
Remove the cinnamon and lemon peel from the milk. Add the flour mixture and stir very well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and let the cream cook until it thickens. You must stir it all the time, without stopping, to prevent it from sticking to the casserole. To stir it is recommended to use the spatula.
When your cream has a good thickness, remove it from the heat. This may take approximately 10 minutes.
Cream hardening
Take a rectangular container or of your choice as a mold and spread it with butter. Also, line it with cling film.
Pour the cream inside and cover it with plastic wrap, so that a crust does not form on top.
Let it cool for 30 minutes.
Store the cream in the fridge, so that it cools completely and hardens. You can keep this for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours. But if you can, leave it there overnight.
Cut the pieces of milk
Sprinkle a board or bowl with flour.
Pour the cream on top and remove the plastic that you had placed in the mold.
Also sprinkle the hardened cream with flour.
Cut the hardened cream into small pieces.
Take a piece and pass it through flour.
Frying the pieces of milk
In a skillet or saucepan, heat the oil. You can use olive oil like sunflower oil, whatever you have at home.
To find out if the oil is ready to fry, you can do this test: Take a wooden toothpick and dip it in oil. If you see bubbles and foam appear around the toothpick, then the oil is ready to fry.
Crack the eggs. Add 1 pinch of salt and beat them.
Pass the pieces of milk through the egg. It is recommended that before putting them in the egg you shake off the excess flour.
Fry the pieces until you notice that they acquire a nice golden color. Once they have obtained the desired color, remove the pieces from the pan.
Place the pieces of fried milk on a plate covered with kitchen paper, so that it absorbs the oil.
