Milk Crumbs Food

MILK CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225°F
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.
• Stir in melted butter until well combined.
• Spread mixture on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven.
• Bake until dried and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove milk crumbles from oven and let cool completely.
• Transfer milk crumbles to a large bowl and fold in remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk powder and white chocolate.
• Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

HOW TO MAKE A PANADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add bread and milk. Let sit for a minute until the milk is absorbed, then mash until smooth (about 1 minute).
• Proceed with the rest of your recipe.

MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak in for several minutes. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, seasoned salt and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
• Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a foil-lined broiler pan, which will allow the fat from the meat to drain.
• Lay the bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf to give the meatloaf some support.
• Next, make the tomato sauce: Pour the ketchup into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and dry mustard, and splash in the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture until well combined. Pour one-third of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake for 45 minutes, and then pour over another one-third of the remaining tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes; the meatloaf should be no longer pink in the middle. Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve with the remaining tomato sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.

THE JUICIEST MEAT BALLS EVER

Steps:

• Soak the bread crumbs in the milk while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Put the beef and pork into a large bowl. Add the onion, butter, eggs, and parsley and season well with salt and pepper. Put the soaked bread crumbs into the bowl and mix it all together well with your (clean) hands. Form the mixture into meatballs about the size of ping pong balls.
• Heat about 1/4-inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

OUR FAVORITE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Crumb topping, if desired:Whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and toss with a flexible spatula until large crumbs form.
• Muffins:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
• Add eggs and vanilla; mix until well combined. Reduce speed to low; alternate adding reserved flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Gently fold in blueberries by hand.
• Divide batter evenly among prepared cups; if desired, sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and mace. Alternatively, sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter in each cup.
• Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until light golden on top, about 30 minutes. Cool in tins on wire racks 15 minutes before turning out muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MALTED MILK CRUMB

Steps:

• Toss the milk crumbs with the Ovaltine malt powder in a medium bowl until all of the crumbs are a light brown.
• Pour the white chocolate over the crumbs and continue tossing until all of the clusters are enrobed. Then continue tossing them every 5 minutes until the white chocolate hardens and the clusters are no longer sticky. (The result will be just like the original milk crumb, but with a cheetah-like spotting of light brown malt powder.) The crumbs will keep in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to 1 month.
• Malted milk crumbs are used in the Chocolate Malt Layer Cake (page 139).
