How to Make Crispy Fresh Milk: A Simple Guide

Crispy fresh milk, a beloved Taiwanese snack, delights with its crispy exterior and creamy, milky center. Here’s a easy guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200ml fresh milk

- 100g all-purpose flour

- 1 tbsp cornstarch

- 1 egg

- 2 tbsp sugar

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- Oil for frying

Steps:

1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk the egg and sugar until smooth. Gradually add milk, followed by flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix into a smooth, slightly thick batter (no lumps).

2. Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep pan and heat to 170°C (340°F). A small drop of batter should sizzle immediately.

3. Fry the Snacks: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Flip occasionally for even cooking.

4. Drain and Serve: Remove with a slotted spoon, drain excess oil on paper towels, and enjoy warm.

Tips: For extra crispiness, add a pinch of salt to the batter or use ice-cold milk. Serve with honey or condensed milk for a sweeter touch. This treat is best eaten fresh to retain its delightful crunch!
