Instructions

1.
In a saucepan, whisk together Jersey milk, sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
2.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4.
Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
5.
Pour the milk mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
6.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the milk mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
7.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set and firm.
8.
Once the milk custard is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and gently unmold it from the baking dish onto a cutting board.
9.
Cut the custard into squares or rectangles, about 2x2 inches.
10.
In a non-stick frying pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
11.
Carefully place the milk custard pieces into the hot pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
12.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the custard.
13.
Remove the fried milk custard pieces from the pan and place them on a plate.
14.
Drizzle with honey and top with fresh berries.
15.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the milk mixture while cooking.

Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Fry in batches to ensure even browning.

If the custard seems too soft to fry, place it back in the refrigerator for another hour to firm up further.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
