Ingredients
  • subheading: Fish Fingers:
  • 8 fish fingers, store bought, (I’m lazy!), or, 2 cod fillets, enough to cut into 8 fingers
  • 2 Eggs, well beaten
  • Flour, enough to coat fingers
  • 3 slices of FRESH bread. More may be needed depending on the size of your fish fingers. Any bread is fine, just need to be fresh, but nothing stopping you using dried breadcrumbs.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  •  
  • subheading: Custard:
  • 15g flour
  • 15g butter
  • 300ml Milk
  • 200g Cheese, use more if you want it thicker, less if not so thick. You can use your favourite melt-able cheese, and not add the next ingredients, or swap them out for others!
  • 1tbls Turmeric. You could also change this out for garlic, honey, paprika, but adjust the amount to suit you.
  • 1tbls Mustard, or how much, or little you want, you can use any type of mustard to have to hand, or don’t use any! Or, swap for honey! Or a tablespoon of both!
Steps
  1. subheading: Fish Fingers:
  2. Beat eggs together in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, and some flour.
  4. Blitz the bread in a processor, until you have medium to large, soft fluffy breadcrumbs. I also cut the crusts off, so I use 2, very thick slices of fresh sourdough bread.
  5. Add breadcrumbs, either there made ones, or store bought, to another bowl.
  6. Take cod fillets, cut into fingers, and add salt and pepper to taste to each finger.
  7. Move fish fingers to the side.
  8. Take one finger, and cover in flour. Tap to remove excess.
  9. Add floured finger to beaten egg.
  10. Add finger to breadcrumbs, and ensure it’s covered.
  11. Move to the side, and repeat for remaining fingers.
  12. If using store bought fish fingers, cook to their guidelines. If you making your own, cook on a medium heat, in a little oil, for about 4 minutes on each side, or if deep frying, for about 4 to 5 minutes. Check they are cooked throughout.
  13. subheading: Custard:
  14. While the fish fingers are cooking, melt the butter over a low to medium heat in a frying pan.
  15. One melted, remove from heat, and add flour to pan.
  16. Stir till paste is formed. It won’t look pretty!
  17. Add 100ml of milk to frying pan with butter and flour paste, and whisk.
  18. Repeat with another 100ml till all the milk has been used.
  19. Return frying pan to stove on a low to medium heat.
  20. Once heated, it should be hot, not boiling, it will have started to thicken, add cheese, turmeric, and mustard, or whatever spices you decided to use, stirring until cheese has melted, and everything is combined.
  21. Once everything is cooked, either dip fingers into custard, drizzle custard over the fingers, or, have a fish finger and custard sandwich!
Notes
  • Use whatever cheese you like, and whatever spices, flavours you have to hand as well!
  • Maybe a garlic cheese custard?
  • A spicy sweet chilli cheese custard?
  • A honey mustard custard?
  • You have a custard tardis, do whatever you like!
