Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Because this dessert is best served immediately after frying, you can make the custard in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to fry. Sometimes building a little anticipation for the finale is fun, so don't worry about the last-minute preparation!
  • tip 2
    You can make your own bread crumbs by processing slices of leftover bread in a food processor. Process just until bread crumbs are finely ground. You'll need about three slices to give you the 3/4 cup crumbs you need for this recipe.
