t sounds like you’re combining two delicious desserts: baked flan and leche frita! While I haven’t heard of “baked leche flittery” specifically, it seems like you’re aiming for a fusion of flavors. Here’s a recipe that merges the creaminess of flan with the crispy texture of leche frita:
Baked Leche Flittery Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flan Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Prepare the Flan Base:
- In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns into caramel. Be careful not to burn it.
- Pour the caramel into the bottom of a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Flan:
- Pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish into a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish, creating a water bath.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set. It should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
- Prepare the Leche Frita:
- Once the flan is chilled, cut it into small squares or rectangles.
- In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
- Coat each piece of flan in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Leche Frita:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the coated flan pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy leche frita warm, alongside the caramelized flan squares.
This fusion dessert combines the creaminess of flan with the crispy exterior of leche frita, creating a delightful treat with contrasting textures and flavors. Enjoy!
