There are recipes for fried milk in several countries. There are traces of this recipe in southern Italy and Liguria (northwest Italy), but what we present today is the traditional Spanish version.

Its preparation is quick and, above all, the result can be adapted to your taste! If, when you have finished cooking this dish, you want a touch of sweetness, then sprinkle the fried milk squares with a mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon. But if you prefer a salty taste use them simply to accompany cold meats and cheeses to create a rich and inviting tray of delicious appetizers! 

The ingredients needed to prepare this recipe are: 

1 liter of whole milk 
6 tablespoons cornstarch 
6 spoons of sugar 
100 grams of white flour 
1 whole egg 
Vegetable oil for frying 
Cinnamon 

Let's take a look at the procedure step by step:
