Ingredients
- ✓480 ml whole milk
- ✓120 ml cornstarch
- ✓79.2 ml granulated sugar
- ✓1 tsp vanilla extract
- ✓2 large eggs
- ✓120 ml all-purpose flour
- ✓240 ml panko breadcrumbs
- ✓15 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, cornstarch, and granulated sugar until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and no lumps remain.
💡
Tip:Ensure the milk is cold or at room temperature when adding cornstarch to prevent clumping.
2
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook continuously, stirring constantly with a spatula or whisk, until the mixture thickens significantly into a smooth, glossy paste.
💡
Tip:Do not leave the pot unattended as it thickens rapidly and can burn on the bottom.
3
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the thickened custard into a lightly greased rectangular container or baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Allow it to cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until completely firm.
💡
Tip:Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
4
Once the custard is firmly set, invert it onto a cutting board. Carefully slice the slab into equal-sized bite-sized squares or rectangles.
💡
Tip:Wipe your knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.
5
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each custard square in flour, dip into the egg, and roll thoroughly in the panko.
💡
Tip:Press the panko gently into the custard squares to ensure full and even coverage.
6
Preheat your air fryer to 199 °C (200 °C). Arrange the coated milk bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Lightly mist the tops with vegetable oil spray.
💡
Tip:Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding.
7
Air-fry at 199 °C (200 °C) for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through and misting again with oil, until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
💡
Tip:Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes so the custard doesn't burst out of the crust.
📝 Chef's Notes
Serve these crispy milk bites immediately while warm. They pair beautifully with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of condensed milk, or a side of chocolate dipping sauce.
