Fried milk

In a saucepan we add the cold milk, and add the flour, stir until it is completely dissolved in the milk. then add the lemon rind and the cinnamon stick and butter. It is cooked over a very low heat, without stopping to stir. When we have the almost compact dough, add the sugar and continue stirring until it is thick. We remove the lemon rind and the cinnamon stick.

then we spread the dough on a source to cool. After several hours (the dough is completely cold) it is cut into pieces (squares, rectangles ...) and they are passed through flour and egg and we fry them in plenty of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan. It does not need to be fried much, we remove the pieces when we see that they are golden brown and we reserve them in a dish covered with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.

the portions of fried milk are presented to the table in a beautiful dish and sprinkled with ground cinnamon.

They can be eaten as is or flambéed with Galician orujo from the Leonese region of El Bierzo.
