Breading mix

I always use equal of flour and cornstarch, along with ,salt, black petter, garlic powder, cayenne, and a lot of chili powder. I mix up a couple of cups and keep it in a coffee can. Here you go.

What's it for? What are you breading?

I started with the same mix when you and NewGulf were here for dinner, when I served chicken Parmesan. I packed bread crumbs in there. I use the mix for everything I pan fry. Tonight it was chicken piccata

I'd eat that!

Would

I failed to mention that I added baking powder. I use the breading mix in all my pan fried dishes. Pork chops is another. The corn starch does not brown as well. That's why I load up on chili powder which helps the browning.

That is nice and brown. Looks great.

It's the paprika in the chili powder that gives me the color.

I'm going to use chili powder next time. I like the color it gives. Thanks for the post.

Make enough to last you foe awhile. I taste my way through. It should tast like salt and have a little sting on the tip of your tongue. Don't salt and pepper your meat. I never use an egg wash. I bread with this mix a little ahead of time. It will get gummy and you can give it another roll in the mix. I bread mine with a plastic grocery bag over a plate.

Thanks, Bill. I usually use and egg wash but wouldn't mind getting away from it. I also like the idea of making up the mix and storing for future use.

It does look good, more better, it tasted great! I bet it would be great for fried squash.

Ohhh, I bet it would be VERY good on fried squash.

Looks good
