Leche frita (literally fried milk) is a Spanish sweet typical of northern Spain.

It is made by cooking flour with milk and sugar until it thickens to a firm dough which is then portioned, fried and served with a sugar glaze and cinnamon powder.

[2] As the sweet used to be homemade there exist many variations on the recipe on how to prepare and present the leche frita.

All of them have in common that they simmer the milk with sugar, cinnamon sticks and sometimes lemon zest.

The generated dough can now be moulded into round, rectangular or rhombical shapes, rolled in stirred eggs, covered with flour and then fried.
