🧂 What is panning in English?
Paneling in English is a classic technique where you give meat, fish or vegetables a crispy coating by passing them through flour, egg and breadcrumbs one after the other.
It creates a golden brown, flavorful crust that keeps the inside juicy.
This method is most often used for chicken fillets, schnitzels or fish fillets – but works equally well for vegetable preparations such as cauliflower or zucchini.
🍗 My version
For this example, I used chicken fillets and Tex-Mex breadcrumbs, which provides a slightly spicy touch.
The English method does remain the same:
– flour
– egg
– breadcrumbs
Cost: €2
Materiaal
- paneermeel
- kruiden naar keuze
Ingredients
- 3 signs
- 2 forks
Instructions
Set out three plates
- In the first plate sprinkle enough flour.
- In the second plate, beat two eggs and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- In the third plate comes the breadcrumbs.
Flowers
- Coat the chicken in the flour and pat off the excess.
Pan
- Place the chicken pieces in the breadcrumbs and turn them over so they are covered all over.
- If necessary, use a spoon to better fill “empty spots” or sides.
💡 Tips
- Cook over medium heat. This will give the breadcrumbs time to turn a nice golden brown without burning.
- After frying, let the meat rest for a while on kitchen paper to soak up excess fat and keep the crust crispy.
- If necessary, combine butter and oil: the butter adds flavor, the oil increases the baking point.
- Use a nonstick pan if you are working with low fat – this will prevent the crust from coming loose.
