How to make it

  • Mix granulated sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg in 3-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in milk.
  • Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat.
  • Stir in butter and peel.
  • Spread evenly in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Refrigerate uncovered at least 3 hours until firm.
  • Cut custard into 2-inch squares, using wet knife.
  • Dip custard squares into eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil (1 to 1/2 inches) to 360°F; fry 2 or 3 squares at a time in oil 1 to 2 minutes or until light brown; drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Do-Ahead Tip: Because this dessert is best served immediately after frying, you can make the custard in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to fry.

    When I read your description for this, I roared with laughter. I thought I was the only one ballsy enough to rip stuff out of magazines from the doctors office!! I absolutely love creme brulee, and have always failed at making it. These look easy enough for even my dumb ass. Thank you!
