Dried Breadcrumbs

Fresh breadcrumbs are great but, personally, I prefer to use the dried version. I find that they give a finer coating to recipes like nuggets and don’t burn as easily when cooking. In this book I use both normal dried breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are a Japanese-style breadcrumb, a little coarser than normal dried breadcrumbs but they give a really crispy finish. Both type of breadcrumbs will keep for months so are a great store cupboard staple.
