Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Grease 8 x 11 inch jelly roll type pan
  2. Line pan with wax paper, which comes up & extends over the 2 long sides
  3. Combine the milk, cinnamon stick & rind in a heavy medium sized saucepan
  4. Bring to the boil, & then remove from heat
  5. Cover & let stand for 10 mins
  6. Discard the cinnamon stick & rind
  7. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, 1/3 cup flour, cornstarch, vanilla & sugar
  8. Beat until smooth
  9. Whisk egg mixture gradually into warm milk mixture
  10. Stir over medium/low heat until custard comes to a boil & thickens
  11. Simmer, stirring about 2 mins or until custard starts to leave side of saucepan
  12. Spread custard evenly in prepared jelly roll pan
  13. Cool
  14. Cover & place in fridge for about 2 hours or until firm
  15. Using the wax paper, carefully lift the custard out onto a firm surface
  16. Cut into a variety of shapes
  17. Dust shapes lightly with the extra flour
  18. Deep fry in hot oil, in batches until browned
  19. Drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle
  20. Combine extra sugar & cinnamon
  21. Gently toss hot custard shapes in the mixture
  22. Best served immediately
  23. NOTE:-
  24. Custard shapes can be prepared a day ahead & then fried just before serving
  25. 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
  26. Dip the cutters in flour before you cut out each one
  27. 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
