Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for color)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs. Stir well to evenly distribute.
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and dried parsley (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.
Taste a small pinch of the mix to adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or spices to your preference.
Transfer the breading mix to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag if not using immediately.
Use the breading mix by dredging your protein or vegetable of choice in it. For best results, first coat the item in an egg wash (beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) before dipping into the breading mix.
Store any unused breading mix in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
