What can I do with breadcrumbs?

If you have brown bread crumbs then it has to be The Three Chimneys Marmalade Pudding. Delicious!

apple Brown Betty - that is lovely!! It's basically breadcrumbs fried in a little butter till crisp and mixed with some brown sugar and cinnamon and then layered up with stewed apple and served with thick cream.

How about Queen of Puddings? Lovely with custard or Bread Pudding?

Hi, I have spent a very happy hour today rescuing bread from the freezer and turning it into breadcrumbs. Tomorrow I will be making bread pudding:

If you have left over mashed potato (or even make extra), it's really easy to make into potato croquettes that can then be frozen until needed.

Just form the mash into log shapes about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick, coat with beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated. Freeze flat on a tray in the freezer, then bag up into meal sized portions, to be heated through in the oven when required. As the packet meals say, "ensure food is piping hot before serving".

Another tip is mashed potato and veggie croquettes - left over mashed potato, any small, well drained, cooked veg, could be leftovers, such as sweetcorn, cooked onion, chopped up green beans, carrot, broccoli.......anything really. Mix with a little grated cheese if liked. Can be made into logs as like potato croquettes, or little patties. Follow on with Bogog_Babe's instructions to coat.

Other uses think everyone else has covered, coating for meat, fish, stuffings, bread sauce, topping for savoury dishes mixed with cheese and/or herbs and spices.

I do is a version of Viener Schnitzel, but rather than using veal, I use pork fillet (or you can use chicken fillet), which uses fresh breadcrumbs. Bit time consuming, but am told it's lovely.

Homemade chicken nuggets. Coat with flour, then egg, then crumbs. Yummy. The same with fish.

Fish cakes with fish and mash and crumbs.

Steamed puds.

How would you then cook the chicken nuggets?

Lightly fry until golden brown. Have the heat low to medium, to ensure even cooking but still retaining moisture. They are beyond fabulous ,and with a sweet chilli dip, drool.

Mix with garlic and parmesan and use to stuff field mushrooms. Sprinkle extra parmesan on top and bake. :drool:

In an effort to still actually eat until i start my first proper job and get my first wage im looking through my cupboard and trying to use everything up. I had some scrag ends of homemade wholemeal bread in there so ive sat here for half an hour making it into really fine crumbs.

errrr now what do i do with it? I know i can bung them in burgers but my o/h doesn't like them so anyother suggestions are very welcome.

Also how do i store it and how long can i keep it for??
