Fried Milk
Golden on the outside and creamy on the inside, these fried milk cubes are sweet, crispy, and full of warm cinnamon flavor. A simple dessert that’s both nostalgic and irresistibly comforting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, sugar, and cornstarch.
