How to .... ensure your crumbs stay on!

1. The best way to crumb any meat for snitchels, nuggests, fish is to:
   Start with 1/3 cup of flour in a large freezer bag, put in salt and pepper to taste.


2. Have 1-2 eggs in a shallow bowl and beat lightly, place 1 cup of breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.


3. Ensure you have plate or tray ready.


4. Place first piece of meat in bag of flour or several pieces of chicken/veg pieces for nuggets.


5. Toss around to coat fully with flour, as you pull meat out shake of excess flour


6. Coat in the egg using a fork to turn, let excess egg slide off, coat in bread crumbs ensuring you pat meat to help crumbs stick.


7. Place on plate or tray and put in fridge for 20-30mins (this is the bit that helps them stick!)


8. Cook as you normally would and enjoy :)
