"A top pick amongst fans of a quick, convenient breakfast, cornflakes offer a subtly sweet flavor and plenty of satisfying crunch. Typically served with a splash of milk and often adorned with toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, or chopped nuts, this trusty cereal is something that the whole family can enjoy on busy mornings. However, cornflakes' uses don't end there."
"Cornflakes are an effective add-in for a variety of sweet and savory dishes, where they bring their signature crunch without overpowering other flavors in the dish. One of the most common ways you'll see them used is as a topping for casseroles or a coating for baked and fried foods. Here, the flakes seamlessly replace breadcrumbs to provide an equally robust layer of crispiness, building an irresistible textural contrast."
Cornflakes provide subtle sweetness and a crisp texture that complements milk and common toppings like fruit, honey, and nuts for quick breakfasts. The cereal also functions well in cooking and baking as a crunchy add-in for both sweet and savory dishes. Crushed cornflakes can replace breadcrumbs as a coating for baked or fried foods, offer a crunchy topping for casseroles, and act as a binder in no-bake confections. The flakes hold their shape when mixed with sticky ingredients and left to set. A classic application is mixing crushed cornflakes with cornmeal to coat green tomato slices before frying until golden.
