Procedure
Prepare a half
sheet tray by brushing it with melted butter. Then put a layer
of parchment paper. Then brush the top of the parchment paper.
- Combine
your milk, lemon peel, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepot.
Heat milk mixture to room temperature (80ºF) then
turn off and steep for about 15 minutes.
- Turn
mixture back on and add sugar. Dissolve sugar and add
about 1/3 of the milk mixture to the cornstarch in a
separate bowl. Whisk together this mixture. This creates
slurry.
- Once
the milk mixture starts to steam take out lemon peel
and cinnamon sticks.
- Once
the mixture starts to boil add the slurry and whisk
vigorously until the mixture starts to thicken and bubbles.
- Pour
onto a prepared sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap
and let cool.
- In the
mean time start to heat up your oil to about 360ºF.
Prepare and egg wash and set up a bowl with breadcrumbs.
- Once
the milk mixture has cooled completely cut it into pieces
and egg wash and bread it.
Helpful Hints: You can cut the
milk anyway you like. The use of cookie cutters and
other shapes are festive and good for presentation purposes.
Just remember to keep a uniformed thickness to insure
even frying. After breading the pieces chill for up
to an hour and this will produce a better finished product.
- Fry until
golden brown and then drizzle with caramel sauce, or
garnish with anything like ice cream, mint, chocolate
etc…
