how to make hm breadcrumbs?

Kantankrus_Mare

So could you just grate them? Ive got some fish Im going to make fishcakes with this week and breadcrumbs would come in handy. I have a hand blender that has only seen the light of day once I think. :rotfl: Have visions of spraying walls of kitchen with breadcrumbs if I use that. :eek:

Hi

I've been very good and freeze all my leftover bread ends.:T

I would like to make breadcrumbs, but I've not got a food processor.

What is going to be the easiest way to make breadcrumbs please?

I would try grating the bread while still frozen, I seem to remember doing this years ago before I could afford a blender. It's easier if you have a mouli grater but still do-able on a box grater. Watch your fingers!

i just use my £5 cheapy hand blender from mr t, rip the bread up and put in a measuring jug and keep your hand over the top of the jug while blitzing or you end up covered in it like i found out first time i did it :rotfl:

Hi Ruthie,

I use an attachment that came with my stick blender to make breadcrumbs but my sister prefers to grate hers.

There's an earlier thread on making breadcrumbs that should help so I'll add your thread to it to keep all the replies together.

This thread may help with uses for breadcrumbs:

what can I do with breadcrumbs?

As the kids (7 of them) don't eat them I usually wizz most of the end crusts in a food processor and pop them in a container in the freezer.

I use the crusts for adding to meatballs & my xmas puddings or coating chicken for Fajhitas or nuggets (I only buy whole Free Range Chicken and butcher them my self and make stock from the bones etc for soup)

For coating add seasoning - salt / pepper / spices / herbs as appropriate to the breadcrumbs and a handful of scrunched up cornflakes (or the dust you get at the end of the bag) and mix this up before coating as has been said before.

If you want a really crunchy coating use more / all cornflakes instead of bread!

Hey everyone!

I had a stale wholemeal loaf in the kitchen and I whizzed it up in the food processor and mixed with some parsley.to make lovely fresh breadcrumbs.

Does anyone know if i'm supposed to bake these in the oven now or can i just leave them fresh? And how long can i store them in an airtight container?

Thanks muchly! x

Hi,
I would pop them in the freezer, you can then use them straight from the freezer sprinkled over a recipe.
