# Ingredientes:

01 - 600 ml whole milk
02 - 1 cinnamon stick
03 - Zest of 1 lemon (in large strips)
04 - 100 g granulated sugar
05 - 60 g cornstarch
06 - 1/4 tsp salt
07 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
→ Breading & Frying
08 - 60 g all-purpose flour
09 - 2 large eggs, beaten
10 - Vegetable oil, for frying

11 - 65 g granulated sugar
12 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
# Instrucciones:
01 - In a saucepan, heat 480 ml of the milk with the cinnamon stick and lemon zest until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and let infuse for 10 minutes.
02 - In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 120 ml milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla. Strain the infused milk and whisk it into this mixture.
03 - Return everything to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides (about 8–10 minutes).
04 - Pour into a greased or parchment-lined square dish (about 20x20 cm). Smooth the top, let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
05 - Once set, cut the milk mixture into squares or rectangles. Dredge each piece in flour, then dip into beaten egg.
06 - Fry in hot oil (175°C) until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes per side.
07 - Drain on paper towels, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm. Serve warm or at room temperature.
