Learn how to make a tasty and traditional Spanish dessert!

There are recipes for fried milk in several countries. There are traces of this recipe in southern Italy and Liguria (northwest Italy), but what we present today is the traditional Spanish version.

Its preparation is quick and, above all, the result can be adapted to your taste! If, when you have finished cooking this dish, you want a touch of sweetness, then sprinkle the fried milk squares with a mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon. But if you prefer a salty taste use them simply to accompany cold meats and cheeses to create a rich and inviting tray of delicious appetizers! 

The ingredients needed to prepare this recipe are: 

1 liter of whole milk 
6 tablespoons cornstarch 
6 spoons of sugar 
100 grams of white flour 
1 whole egg 
Vegetable oil for frying 
Cinnamon 

Let's take a look at the procedure step by step:

Gather all the necessary ingredients making sure to sift the corn starch before using it.

To heat the milk, pour it into a pot large enough to hold the entire liter.

Add the corn starch, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

In any case, if there are any lumps you can use an electric hand blender to eliminate them.

Pour the mixture into a rectangular silicone pan to cool. This will facilitate the cutting and removal of the mixture from the container itself.

After cooling, cut the solid mixture into squares pieces.

Dip the squares first in the flour and then into the beaten egg mix and put them on a plate.

Fry them while being careful to leave enough space between them to avoid sticking together.

After you have finished frying the squares, put them on an absorbent paper towel and wait for them to cool. Then you can pass them in the mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon (if you like).

Now you are ready to put them on a serving plate -- and most all ---ready to taste them!
