Breading: Flour


Dredge


Brined  or
soaked (often in
buttermilk)
pieces of food
are tossed in
seasoned flour
and fried.

When    done    well,
produces plenty of
crunchy, dark
brown crust.

Breading:


Standard Bread


Crumb


Food    is  dredged
in flour,
followed by
beaten eggs,
followed by
dried bread-
crumbs.

Very    easy,   though
it requires a few
pans for
dredging.Achieves
a very crisp, solid,
airtight crust that
absorbs sauces
well.
