Crispy Fried Milk with a Soft Custard Centre
脆炸鮮奶
Chill a simple milk and cornstarch custard until it cuts cleanly, then bread and fry the pieces.
▶ Watch the recipe
Before you begin
The golden crumb shell gives way to a soft milky centre. An even coat around the corners helps keep the soft filling inside during frying.
Method 做法
Cook the filling
Whisk the sugar and 35 g cornstarch into the cold milk. Heat gently and stir continuously, scraping the base. Once thick enough to hold a trail, scrape into a lined or lightly oiled container and smooth the top.

Chill and portion
Cover and refrigerate until the block is completely cold and firm enough to cut. Turn out and cut into even small bars or squares.

Coat the pieces
Dust each piece with cornstarch, dip in beaten egg and coat all sides with breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs on gently so the edges are covered.
Fry and serve
Heat neutral oil in a deep pan. Fry a few pieces at a time until the coating is crisp and golden. Lift out, drain, and let the pieces cool briefly before biting into the hot centre.
