CRUMBS, FRIED BREAD (with which to dredge Hams or Bacon)

Place a crust of bread in a cool oven; when it is crisp and brown, roll it into dust with a rolling-pin, pass it through a coarse sieve, and bottle the powder until wanted. Or, put the crumbs of bread into a frying-pan with a little clarified butter, stir them constantly till they are brightly browned, and drain them before the fire. Time to fry, five or six minutes; time to brown the crust, it should be left all night in a cool oven.
