Fritte di Latte
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole Milk
- 150 g Plain Flour or 00 Flour
- 200 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
- 3 Egg yolks
- Fine Bread Crumbs
- 1 Lemon Zest
- 1 Cinnamon Stick or Cinnamon to taste
- Icing Sugar
- Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil
- 1 Beaten Egg
Instructions
- Mix egg yolks, lemon zest sugar and flour together in a bowl, there should be no lumps!
- Add milk into a pan and slowly warm with the cinnamon stick. Slowly whisk this mixture into your warming milk, ensure there are no lumps.
- On a very low heat, cook the mixture stirring constantly for 10 minutes until dense without any floppiness.
- Take an oiled marble or wooden chopping board and dollop the dough like milk onto the board. Smooth into the shape of a rectangle that is about 2 cm deep & leave to cool for at least 5 hours.
- Cut the cool dough into diamonds. Take each diamond, lightly dust each first into flour, then dip into a beaten egg and finally a quick and light dip into your superfine breadcrumbs.
- Heat some peanut oil and fry each rectangle individually, when golden on both sides they are done.
- Dust with a little icing sugar on top and serve warm or leave to cool for a summer treat.
