Ingredients for making milk cakes with cornstarch

Handy tips

When choosing eggs, go for ones that have a smooth and blemish-free shell, without any cracks or dark spots. When you touch the shell, it should feel slightly rough. This is a sign of fresh eggs.

When buying cornstarch, choose a variety that is pure white, finely ground, and free of clumps. Avoid buying damp or moldy cornstarch. When selecting packaged cornstarch, pay attention to its expiration date to avoid buying expired products.

2Steps to make milk cakes with cornstarch

Step 1: Sifting the cornstarch

Sifting the cornstarch

First, put 50g of cornstarch and 50g of sugar in a bowl and mix them well with a whisk. Then, pass the mixture through a sieve to get a fine powder.

Step 2: Mixing the flour and eggs

Mixing the flour and eggs

Separate the yolks and whites of 2 eggs, keeping only the yolks. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the bowl of egg yolks and whisk until the yolks and vanilla are well combined.

Next, add 440ml of unsweetened fresh milk and the cornstarch mixture that has been sieved to the egg mixture. Stir well with a whisk until all the ingredients are well blended.

Step 3: Cooking the mixture

Cooking the mixture

Heat a pot on the stove and pour the milk and egg mixture into it. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and forms peaks when the whisk is lifted.

Step 4: Shaping the cakes

Shaping the cakes

For this step, lightly grease a plate with a thin layer of cooking oil and pour the cooked mixture into it. Use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly to achieve a smooth surface. Then, put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Once the cakes have hardened, take them out and use a knife to cut them into small square pieces of medium size.

Step 5: Coating the cakes with flour

Coating the cakes with flour

Put 20g of cornstarch and 20g of fried flour in separate bowls. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl.

Next, roll each cake in order through the cornstarch, the beaten egg, and finally a layer of fried flour on the outside.

Handy tips: To keep the flour coating in place and make the cakes firmer, you can put the cakes and the tray in the freezer to let them firm up before frying. It will make frying easier.

Step 6: Frying the milk cakes

Frying the milk cakes

Heat a frying pan and add enough cooking oil to fully submerge the cakes. When the oil is hot, add the cakes one by one and fry them quickly over high heat until they turn golden brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan and let them drain before serving.

Step 7: Finished product

Now your crispy milk cakes are ready. Let them drain off any excess oil, then arrange them on a plate. Enjoy them while they’re still hot!
