Ingredients

Milk

  • 2 cups whole milk

    2 cups whole milk, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup corn starch
  • Continue stirring over medium heat until thickens into a thick consistency. You should be able to pick up a spoon full of the milk without it falling back into the pot. This will take about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the thickened milk mixture into a 4x6 inch container to cool in the fridge or 2 hours. Make sure to flatten it so that you are able to make even cuts later.
  • After 2 hours, remove the milk from the container. It should be one solidified rectangle now. Cut into 6 equal pieces.
  • Make wet batter by mixing together flour and water. It should be a pancake batter like consistency.
    ½ cup flour, ½ cup water
  • Coat pieces of milk into the wet batter, then into panko bread crumbs. Press in to it to ensure they are fully coated.
    1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Fry at 350F for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
