Fried milk with coffee

Today we propose you a traditional recipe, such as fried milk, which personally reminds me of my childhood, since my grandmother used to prepare it and I loved it, but with an original touch, because the cream inside has a light touch to coffee.

Ingredients:

- 7 oz of semi-skimmed milk

- 1.8 oz of coffee

- 3.5 oz of milk + 1.4 oz of cornstarch

- Lemon and orange peels (without the white part)

- 1.4 oz of sugar

- 1 cinnamon stick

- 2 egg yolks

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence

- Flour and an egg to batter

- 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder to decorate

- Olive oil

Recipe:

- Pour the 7 oz of milk in a saucepan.

- Add the cinnamon stick and the lemon and orange peels and the vanilla essence and heat until it is about to boil.

- At that time, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and let it infuse 30 minutes.

- In a bowl, put the egg yolks and sugar and mix well with rods.

- In a glass, mix the 3.5 oz of milk with the cornstarch until it has no lumps.

- Add this mixture to the bowl with the eggs and sugar and mix well again.

- Remove the cinnamon stick and the orange and lemon peels to the milk that we had infused.

- Pour the coffee and return to heat over medium heat.

- Add the mixture we had in the bowl and start stirring continuously with some rods until you see that the mixture starts to thicken a bit (it takes only a few seconds).

- Place the mixture in a mold with several thickness to then be able to cut well the pieces of fried milk.

- Cover the mold with transparent film so that the film is stuck to the dough so that it does not dry out.

- Let it temper a few minutes at room temperature and then store it in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

- Once thickened, cut the pieces of fried milk into squares or rectangles more or less the same size.

- Pass each piece with flour and then with beaten egg.

- In a pan with hot oil, fry each piece until golden.

- Place them for a few seconds on absorbent paper to remove the excess oil.

- Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon powder on a plate and mix well with a spoon.

- Pass the pieces already fried by this mixture while still hot or warm.

Bon appétit!
