Walnut crumbs FAQ:
Bake the walnut crumbs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remember to stir the mixture halfway through to ensure even baking.
If you don't have self-raising flour, you can substitute it by adding 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This will help achieve a similar texture.
Once completely cooled, store the walnut crumbs in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week.
You can substitute walnuts with other nuts like pecans or almonds, or use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds if you're looking for nut-free alternatives.
The walnut crumbs are done when they are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality walnuts for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a finer crumb, pulse the walnuts in a food processor until they reach your desired consistency.
- For a healthier variation, consider using whole wheat flour or reducing the amount of sugar.
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and to achieve a more even crumb texture.
- Toast the walnut crumbs in the oven for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and crispiness before adding them to your dish.
