Garlic Croûtons

Croutons can be cooked in butter or oil and made in a frying-pan or in the oven. If you’re using butter, which I prefer for plain croutons and these delicately flavoured garlic croutons, unsalted is best. It needs to be clarified first to stop it burning.

I make croutons in batches and store them in an old ice cream container in the fridge.
