FRIED SWEET MILK CAKE
(Parma, Emilia)

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PERSONS:

> 1 cups of flour

> 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks

2 cups of sugar

6 cups of milk

1 lemon

a fist of fine bread crumbs

frying oil

PREPARATION

Beat the eggs and egg yolks with the sugar, add the milk and
continue beating with a whisk until finally obtaining a homogenous mixture without lumps. Place the mixture over a low flame and cook it slowly
until it becomes solid and is detached from the walls of the pot
which will probably take a little less than an hour.
Remove the mixture and put it on a tray, leaving it to cool completely.
Cut the cake into small slices using a sharp knife.
Beat the remaining two eggs, dip the little pieces of cake
in the egg then bread them.
Fry the slices in the hot oil for a few minutes,
then dry the excess grease with a paper towel before serving.
