Ingredients

Prep time includes chill time

2 1/2 cups milk

1 cinnamon stick

3/4 x 3 1/4 inch piece of orange rind

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup ex-fine sugar

all-purpose flour - extra

vegetable oil for deep frying

1/2 cup ex-fine sugar - extra

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

Grease 8 x 11 inch jelly roll type pan

Line pan with wax paper, which comes up & extends over the 2 long sides

Combine the milk, cinnamon stick & rind in a heavy medium sized saucepan

Bring to the boil, & then remove from heat

Cover & let stand for 10 mins

Discard the cinnamon stick & rind

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, 1/3 cup flour, cornstarch, vanilla & sugar

Beat until smooth

Whisk egg mixture gradually into warm milk mixture

Stir over medium/low heat until custard comes to a boil & thickens

Simmer, stirring about 2 mins or until custard starts to leave side of saucepan

Spread custard evenly in prepared jelly roll pan

Cool

Cover & place in fridge for about 2 hours or until firm

Using the wax paper, carefully lift the custard out onto a firm surface

Cut into a variety of shapes

Dust shapes lightly with the extra flour

Deep fry in hot oil, in batches until browned

Drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle

Combine extra sugar & cinnamon

Gently toss hot custard shapes in the mixture

Best served immediately

NOTE:-

Custard shapes can be prepared a day ahead & then fried just before serving

I had the dial on my stove at 7 when I was deep frying, you don't want to fry them too fast or they get too dark real soon

Dip the cutters in flour before you cut out each one

Flour & deep fry all the odd pieces from the left over custard first as it helps to adjust the heat of your oil before you fry the bigger shapes
