SW fish & chips

[Mozzalicious]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone made the low syn fish & chips? I'm going tk treat myself tomorrow and make it.....slightly worried about the breadcrumbs.
I don't have a food professor to blend the crumbs, could I use pre packed breadcrumbs from the supermarket or could I just crush up some toast?! :S
Thanks in advance!

Try leaving the bread out before for a little while to make it go 'stale' and heard....the breadcrumbs will be easier to make using yours hands. I don't think toast would work and as for the supermarket ready....I would be careful of additives etc!

cook the bread in a microwave to go crisp, break into large pieces then put into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush to breadcrumb size!

Before I had a food processor I'd just crumble it up with my hands and then leave it out overnight, or if youre strapped for time put it in the oven for a few minutes to dry out. (Keep an eye on it though, it burns very fast!) Then once it's dried crumble it up a bit finer.

ah, brilliant thanks for all of the replies, much appreciated!

It's amazing elarning all of these new tips and making things from scratch instead of buying from the takeaway/supermarket and not knowing what you're really eating!
