In a pan, heat milk, add sugar, vanilla essence and a pinch of nutmeg powder and mix it till the sugar dissolves.

Add flour in a bowl, keep it aside. Beat eggs in another bowl. Add panko crumbs in a third bowl.

Take out the milk mixture, check if it is set. Cut it into batons/cubes and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Coat it in the flour, then eggs and finally panko crumbs.
