A nice dessert submission from Taverna Akumal.

Fried Sweet Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 quart whole milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• lemon zest
• breadcrumbs (Panko is good)
• vanilla bean
• Canola oil

Procedure:
Boil the milk, then slowly add the flour.  Stir with a wooden spoon making sure that the mixture doesn’t clump.  Then add the sugar, the lemon peel, vanilla bean, and 4 eggs.

Continue to stir over low heat til you have a fairly dense cream.   Remove from heat and spread the cream on a large, oiled plate and let cool.  Remove the lemon peel.

Once the cream is cooled and solid, cut it into pieces. Then, dip the cut pieces in a bowl of beaten egg yolks, roll in breadcrumbs, and fry in hot oil until golden.  Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
