Breadcrumbs are best made with stale bread although crusts should be avoided and can be a handy way of using up the last few slices of a loaf. Store your breadcrumbs in the freezer until required for stuffing, Bread Sauce, Queen of Puddings and Stuffed Mushrooms. Alternatively turn them into Home Made Bread Rusk Crumb for frying.
