Instructions: Mix the cornstarch with a little of the milk to a smooth paste. Bring the rest of the milk to the boil and stir gently into the cornstarch and boil for 10 mins, stirring all the time. Add the vanilla extract and sugar and pour into a shallow flat tin or dish. When quite cold cut into oblong slices, dip in beaten egg, roll in breadcrumbs and fry a golden brown in a little hot fat. Salt, pepper and grated cheese can be used instead.
