Ingredients

For the milk-tart custard:

1 x 200 g packet Woolworths vanilla custard powder
75 g sugar
11/2 litres milk
1 T vanilla extract
1 T ground cinnamon
1 t ground nutmeg

For the coating:

2 free-range eggs, beaten
120 g flour, for dusting

For the spiced sugar, mix:

100 g sugar
1/2 T ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground nutmeg
oil, for frying
Woolworths caramel crunch sauce, for serving

Method

1. Prepare the custard according to package instructions, adding the spices at the end to infuse. Pour into a deep rectangular dish lined with clingwrap and chill overnight until set.
2. Once the custard has set, cut into equal-sized squares. Dip into the beaten egg, then coat in the flour. Fry in batches in the hot oil until lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Roll in the spiced sugar while still warm and serve with the caramel crunch sauce.
