How To Make Leche Frita (fried Milk) — A Sweet Spanish Treat

Full Recipe:

Leche frita (fried milk) is a delicious and interesting sweet that comes from the region of Asturias in the north of Spain. Milk appears to magically thicken and ends up as a soft but firm little parcel of sweetness. The texture will leave you wondering how it was milk in the first place.

Of course, the milk is given a little help to get to this — namely from the added cornflour, being simmered in a pan, and then left to set in the fridge. After this step, you cut the set milk into squares and fry them in a batter.
