Leche Frita (fried milk)
Leche frita (fried milk) is a traditional spanish dessert recipe. It's quite easy to do, and the results are spectacular! If you want to impress your guests with a non-conventional, yet succulent dessert, try this easy recipe.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
32 fl. oz milk
6 fl. oz olive oil
1 spoonful of sunflower oil
2 eggs
2 oz cornflour
2 oz of light flour
1 stick of cinnamon
4 oz sugar
Preparation
Dilute the flour together with the cornflour and sugar in 1/4l of milk. Boil the rest of the milk with the cinnamon stick for ten minutes and add it, after straining, into the paste made earlier.
Simmer the mixture on a low heat, without stopping stirring, for a period of 10 minutes. Put it on a tray greased with sunflower oil and allow it to cool.
Once the mixture is cold, cut it into rectangles of about 10 x 5cm, putting them into flour and beaten egg and frying them on a medium heat in the 2dl of olive oil. Dry off the excess oil and sprinkle them with sugar and ground cinnamon.
Bunuelos
* 3 1/3 regular white flour
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
* 1/4 cup butter
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 plus 2 tsp. of milk
* canola oil for deep frying
For the topping:
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 tsp. cinnamon
In a sauce pan,(I used a 2 qt. saucepan with a 7 1/2 inch diameter) add canola oil to at least 2 inches deep and heat the canola oil on medium. Keep an eye on the oil so it doesn't get too hot and start smoking.
Sift 4 cups of flour onto a sheet of wax paper. Gently measure 3 1/3 cups of this flour and pour it back into the sifter that is sitting in a mixing bowl. Add the salt, baking powder and sugar on top of the flour and sift all ingredients into the mixing bowl. This will allow you to sift the flour twice making it light and airy,
Add the butter and mix it in with your fingertips. Work the butter in until it has the consistency of corn meal.
In a separate bowl, add the eggs and beat gently. Add the milk to the eggs and blend.
Pour the milk/egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until the dough forms a solid mass.
Dust a wooden cutting board with flour and knead the dough lightly for 2 or 3 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
Pinch off small pieces of dough about 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter and shape into balls. Let the balls rest for 15 minutes.
Rolling Out The Dough
Dust a wooden cutting board with flour and roll out each ball into a thin pancake about 1/8 inch thick. Your circle should be about 4 inches in diameter.
Place your circles of dough on a sheet of wax paper until you are ready to cook them.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon, for the topping, in a gallon-size ziplock bag.
Cooking The Dough
Fry the circles of dough in hot oil. They should bubble up right away and turn a golden brown in about 30 seconds. Turn it over and cook and additional 30 seconds.
Play with the temperature of the oil by noticing how long it takes for the dough to turn golden brown. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, turn up the heat a bit. If you notice the dough turning dark brown in ten seconds, turn the heat down.
Once your Mexican dessert is a nice golden brown on both sides, Remove them with tongs and drain on paper towels.
Once they are cool enough to handle, place one bunuelos in the ziplock bag with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Gently tip the bag to coat the bunuelos with the sugar mixture. and then set on paper towels to cool.
CHILEAN ALFAJORES
1/4 c. plus 3 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. plus 3 tbsp. sugar
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour
1 can condensed milk
Cream together butter and sugar; add egg and flour and mix well. Drop by scant teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Pat with a floured finger into very thin little circles (quarter to half dollar size). Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until just starting to brown around edges.
Sandwich two cookies together with cooked condensed milk. To cook condensed milk, place entire, unopened can in a large saucepan, cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer about 2 hours. This turns it into caramel
