Homemade Item: CORN FLAKE CRUMBS

Do you use corn flake crumbs in your cooking? If not, then you totally should. They are delicious and add a unique texture to your food that you don’t get with bread crumbs. You can easily substitute corn flake crumbs for bread crumbs in a recipe.

You can certainly buy pre-manufactured corn flake crumbs, but why when making them from home is so easy and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Start with an 18 ounce box of corn flakes. Just buy the generic brand, no need to get fancy since you will just be adding them to a recipe. Plus the generic brand is about 2 dollars. Yea cheap!

Pull out your trusty food processor, or if you have a fancy blender that would work too.

Dump in the cornflakes. My food processor is small, so I have to work in batches.

Mix, mix, mix! You only need to blend/process for 5 to 7 seconds. If you blend less, your crumbs will be larger which is fine if you want large crumbs. If you blend more, your crumbs will be finer and start to turn into flour so be careful.

Look at these beauties!

They are going to help create some awesomely delicious recipes, such as

QUINOA ZUCCHINI CAKES

STUFFED SWEET PEPPERS

CORN FLAKE CHICKEN

One 18 ounce box of flakes makes about 4 cups of crumbs. Store the crumbs in an air tight container in your pantry.

What amazing things do you make with cornflake crumbs?

Makes: 4 Servings

2 teaspoons flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 pound chicken cut into strips

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions:

Heat a large skillet to medium high, and when it is warm add the butter, marmalade, ginger and flour. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly.

When the butter mixture is bubbling, add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes stirring constantly to make sure the chicken cooks evenly.

Add the remaining ingredients and let the mixture simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

If you want to add vegetables, cook them in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes so they soften, then add them when you add the chicken.

Serve over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
