leche frita

Try this classic Spanish dessert recipe for a tasty, traditional treat!

Leche Frita Recipe

whole milk (950 ml)

cornstarch (25 g)

Tbs of flour (50 g)

white sugar (100 g)

cinnamon

Lemon peel

tsp vanilla extract (2.5 ml)

olive oil (120 ml)

eggs

Sugar and powdered cinnamon

Whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and half of the flour.

Add 1 cup of milk and combine. Set aside.

Heat the remaining milk over medium-low heat in a large saucepan until it starts to bubble.

Remove from heat and add the cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and vanilla. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes.

Gradually strain the milk from the saucepan into the mixture from the first step, and stir until combined.

Return to saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens considerably (at least 15 minutes).

Oil a large baking dish and pour the mixture into it. It should be about 3/4 inch (2 cm) deep.

Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper so that it's resting on the surface of the mixture, and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours (overnight if possible) until it has solidified.

Turn the cooled mixture out of the pan and cut into small squares.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, at a depth of about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm)

Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Put the remaining flour in another bowl.

Dip each piece in the beaten eggs and then the flour, to form a light coating.

Fry in the oil for about one minute on each side, until the coating turns golden.

Let cool on a paper towel, then roll in sugar and cinnamon.

Serve fresh or at room temperature, ideally with ice cream!

Everything tastes better fried, and these dollops of custard are no exception.
