Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a saucepan, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup cornstarch, and 3 tbsp sugar until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour the mixture into a square dish and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Dip each cube in beaten egg (2 large eggs), then coat with 1 cup breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cubes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweetened condensed milk or chocolate sauce.
