I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Fried Custard Squares With Berries

Serves: 6

When chilled custard squares are coated in bread crumbs and deep-fried, they become crunchy on the outside and creamy within. Cool berries are the perfect counterpoint to the warm custards.

   2 cups milk
   1 zested lemon, removed in strips with a vegetable peeler
   1 stick cinnamon
   6 large egg yolk
   1/2 cup sugar
   1/3 cup cornstarch
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   2 large eggs
   2 cups fresh Italian bread crumbs, preferably from day-old bread
   Vegetable shortening or vegetable oil for deep-frying
   3 cups assorted fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries

1. Lightly butter an 8-by-11-inch glass baking dish. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick to a simmer over low heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the lemon zest and cinnamon.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch together. Gradually whisk in the hot milk. Rinse out the saucepan and return the custard to the pan. Stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the vanilla. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

3. Place piece of buttered waxed paper directly on top of the custard, buttered-side down, and pierce the paper a few times to allow the steam to escape. Place on a wire cake rack and let cool until tepid. Refrigerate until firm and chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Remove the waxed paper. Hold a baking sheet over the dish and invert them together to unmold the custard onto the sheet. Cut the custard into 12 equal rectangles.

5. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs well. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Coat each custard rectangle evenly with the eggs, then the bread crumbs, patting to help the crumbs adhere. Place on the waxed paper.

6. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. In a deep Dutch oven, melt vegetable shortening over high heat to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat it to 365°F. In batches, without crowding, deep-fry the custards until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the custards to the paper towels to drain, and keep warm in the oven while frying the rest. Serve immediately, garnished with the berries.
