How to Egg and Bread Crum

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare sufficient bread crumbs by rubbing stale bread on a sieve to cover the required amount of fish or fish cakes ; beat up the egg on a plate ; a little milk may be added should one egg not be enough, and two too much ; put the things to be coated one by one on the plate and brush them over with the egg, being careful to cover all the surface ; then di*op them into the crumbs, which for convenience should be in a piece of paper ; jerk the paper this way and that till the crumbs have quite covered the article ; then lift, press the crumbs lightly, and shake off any loose ones ; place on a piece of paper, and let them, if possible, dry for an hour or so before frying.
