What Is Crumbing

Method 1:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, season the flour with salt & pepper (don’t be shy as only a very minimal amount of the flour and seasoning will end up on the actual food).
2. In a medium mixing bowl lightly beat the eggs.
3. Add the milk, oil and stir.
4. In a third medium mixing bowl or shallow dish, place the bread crumbs.
5. Towel dry the food to be crumbed.
6. Lightly dredge (coat) the food in the seasoned flour one piece at a time.
7. Shake off the excess and place the food in the egg wash.
8. Remove the food from the egg wash and allow it to drain a little.
9. Place the food in the crumbs and gently coat by pressing the crumbs onto it.
10. To ensure you don’t end up crumbing your fingers use your left hand only for the uncoated food and the egg wash and your right only for the flour and breadcrumb stages.

Method 2:

1. Eliminate the flour step and season the breadcrumbs instead, everything else remains the same
