Step 1
In a saucepan, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup cornstarch, and 3 tbsp sugar until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into a square dish and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Dip each cube in beaten egg (2 large eggs), then coat with 1 cup breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cubes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweetened condensed milk or chocolate sauce.
