Ingredients
Scale
Milk Ingredients:
- 500 milliliters (16.9 fluid ounces) milk
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) corn starch
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) sugar
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 egg, beaten
Serving Ingredients:
- Condensed milk
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Craft a silky milk base by whisking milk, corn starch, and sugar together in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently to create a smooth, thickened custard-like consistency.
- Transfer the heated mixture into a parchment-lined container, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface. Cover with another parchment layer and refrigerate for several hours until completely solidified.
- Remove the chilled milk block from the refrigerator and slice into uniform rectangular portions using a sharp knife, ensuring clean and precise cuts.
- Prepare a three-stage coating station: dust each milk piece thoroughly with corn starch, creating a light protective layer that helps egg adhere smoothly.
- Carefully dip the corn starch-coated pieces into beaten egg, ensuring complete and even coverage to help the final breadcrumb layer stick perfectly.
- Roll each egg-drenched piece generously in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to create a crisp, uniform exterior that will transform into a golden, crunchy shell.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep pan until it reaches the optimal frying temperature, carefully lowering the coated milk bites into the hot oil.
- Fry the pieces for several minutes, rotating periodically to achieve an even, rich golden-brown color and ensuring the interior remains creamy while the exterior becomes delightfully crisp.
- Transfer the freshly fried milk bites onto absorbent paper towels to remove excess oil, allowing them to drain and cool slightly.
- Elevate the dessert’s presentation by delicately drizzling condensed milk over the crispy bites and dusting with a light snowfall of powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes
- Unexpected milk dessert transforms ordinary ingredients into crispy golden treats.
