Ingredients
Scale
- 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 70 g (2.5 oz) corn starch
- 2 tbsps corn starch
- 40 g (1.4 oz) sugar
- Condensed milk
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Milk Base: Whisk milk, corn starch, and sugar in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, thick custard.
- Chill and Set: Pour the heated mixture into a parchment-lined container, spreading evenly. Cover with another parchment layer and refrigerate until completely solidified.
- Cut and Coat: Extract the chilled milk block, slice into uniform rectangles. Dust each piece thoroughly with corn starch, creating a protective layer for optimal egg adherence.
- Bread and Dredge: Immerse corn starch-coated pieces into beaten egg, ensuring complete coverage. Roll generously in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to create a uniform, crisp exterior.
- Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat cooking oil to optimal temperature. Carefully lower coated milk bites into the hot oil, rotating periodically to achieve an even, rich golden-brown color while maintaining a creamy interior.
- Finish and Serve: Drain fried bites on absorbent paper towels. Drizzle with condensed milk and dust with powdered sugar, creating an elegant, indulgent dessert presentation.
Notes
- Whisking Technique: Stir constantly while heating milk mixture to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, lump-free custard base.
- Chilling Strategy: Allow complete solidification in refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, creating a firm texture for easier cutting and handling.
- Coating Precision: Thoroughly dust with corn starch before egg dip to guarantee perfect breadcrumb adhesion and prevent coating separation during frying.
- Frying Pro Tip: Maintain oil temperature between 350-375°F for golden-brown exterior and creamy interior, using a cooking thermometer for accuracy.
