Crouton Recipe, Making Croutons Recipe

How to make croutons for soup.

In a frying pan have the depth of an inch of boiling fat; also have prepared slices of stale bread cut up into little ½ inch squares; drop into the frying pan enough of these bits of bread to cover the surface of the fat. When browned, remove with a skimmer and drain; add to the hot soup and serve.

Some people like croutons prepared in this way: Take very thin slices of bread, butter them well; cut them up into little squares ¾ of an inch thick, place the croutons in a baking pan, buttered side up, and brown in a quick oven.
