INSTRUCTIONS
milk, the lime peel, sugar, and butter until it almost reaches a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon until the custard comes to a boil and has thickened. 3. Remove the lime peel and pour the custard into an 8 x 8-inch Pyrex dish, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until firm. 4. Cut the custard into 2-inch squares, dip the squares into the beaten eggs, and then into the crumbs, covering all sides. In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until very hot but not smoking, and cook the squares until brown, 2 minutes on each side, turning carefully with a spatula. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar to taste, and serve hot. Makes 16 2-inch squares, serving 8 LECHE FRITA Fried Milk Squares File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmdja006.zip
