how to make hm breadcrumbs?

I use the smaller holes on my cheese grater, but watch your fingers when you get near the end.

I just put them in a bowl and rub between the flat of my hands until they are fine enough.

If you don't have a processor (like me),you can toast them then use a cheese grater to crumble them up.

I use the food processer to reduce my crusts to something approaching crumbs. As Susan says they are quite difficult to get into fine crumbs, but I quite like the different sizes you get

Uusally I make my crusts into croutons for soup. I just dice them and store in thr freezer until we have soup (Saturday lunch time;) ), then I fry them from frozen.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but would it be OK to use toasted ones in a Christmas pud?

Don't see any reason why not!

They might be a bit too dry. I'd use the cheese grater on untoasted bread myself.

I wouldn't use it on untoasted bread as I can't see it working,I would have thought it would be all doughey and clumpy, what I did in the days before I got the blender was use stale bread, once it was kinda crispy then put it through the grater.HTHx

The stale bread on grater sounds best. Must remember to leave some bread out a couple of days before I need it then.
Thanks
