Layers of Flavor
When I cook I attempt to layer in several flavors, but done in such a way no one flavor over shines the rest. The good example is Breaded and fried anything. I always add Salt and pepper to my flour, to the egg wash I add Onion and Garlic powder, and to the Breading I will almost always use some Cajun Spice mix or Italian seasoning. And when it's done cooking I always sprinkle it with a little popcorn salt. So here is my Breading Recipe for most everything I bread and fry: Flour: 1/2 cup all purpose Flour 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper Mix Egg wash: 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp Garlic powder 5 Tbsp of chicken broth (or veggie broth) Put all in blender and blend till smooth Bread crumbs: 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs 1 Tbsp of Spices of your choice. Mix As you can see each layer has some flavor added to it, and the pinch of popcorn salt at the end just seems to tie it all together
