Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the milk, halved vanilla bean and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle boil, then take off the heat and let it infuse.
2. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until smooth. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix well until no lumps remain.
3. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the yolk mixture. Return everything to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick.
4. Line a baking dish with plastic wrap, pour in the custard and smooth the surface. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. Once firm, turn the custard out onto a board and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
6. Coat each cube in breadcrumbs, dip in beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs again.
7. Heat oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cubes in batches until golden brown and crisp.
8. Drain the bites on paper towels and serve warm.
