🇪🇸 Spain recipe
Leche Frita
Literally 'fried milk,' this traditional dessert from northern Spain transforms a simple custard into something magical. A thick cinnamon and lemon-infused custard is set, cut into squares, coated in flour and egg, and fried until golden. The result is a crispy, caramelized shell encasing a warm, creamy custard centre, dusted with cinnamon sugar.
