HOW TO MAKE BREADCRUMBS AT HOME

Homemade breadcrumbs are easy to make and very useful as well.

Ingredients
A few slices bread of choice a few slices to a whole loaf

Instructions
- Toast slices of bread in a pan until crisp (not brown) on both sides.
- Trim off the brown edges off the slices (if you want strictly white crumbs).
- Cut bread into cubes or little squares.
- Grind the cubes in the dry mill of a blender/food processor.
VOILA! Your breadcrumbs are ready.

What to do with breadcrumbs? Just a couple of ideas:
- Breadcrumbs can be used for coating food before frying to give it a crunchy, crispy finish.
- It can also be used for binding foods like meatballs, scotch eggs
- Breadcrumbs can also serve as a thickener for soups
Hope someone finds this helpful!
