- Let me walk you through this Spanish dish, leche frita — fried milk. To start, pour 750 ml (about 3 cups) of the milk into a small saucepan, add the lemon peel and cinnamon, bring it to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the milk steep for 10 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 250 ml (about 1 cup) of milk. Beat the egg yolks lightly, then combine the two mixtures. Fish the peel out of the milk, stir in the sugar, and warm it over the heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the egg-and-starch mixture and cook until thickened. Pour the finished custard into a mold and leave it overnight. In the morning, carefully turn the set custard out onto the counter and cut it into pieces. Dredge each piece first in flour and then in beaten egg, and fry in the oil. After frying, roll the pieces in sugar and cinnamon and arrange them on a plate. Serve this dessert well chilled.
