Galleta Molida — Cuban Cracker Meal, 6oz

Galleta Molida — Cuban cracker meal for crispier breading

Galleta molida is ground Cuban-style soda crackers — finer than American breadcrumbs, with a different crisp when fried. It's what Cuban kitchens use for milanesa breading, croqueta coating, and the kind of crisp fried chicken that's the standard at Cuban lunch counters.

How to use

1. Milanesa breading: flour → beaten egg → galleta molida. Fry until golden.
2. Croqueta coating: roll the bechamel-meat filling in galleta molida before frying.
3. Cuban fried chicken: marinate, then dredge in galleta molida + seasoning.
4. Topping for casseroles, gratins, or stuffed peppers.

Why not just use breadcrumbs?

Breadcrumbs are coarser and absorb more oil. Galleta molida fries up crisper, lighter, with a distinctive Cuban texture — closer to panko than to Italian-style breadcrumbs, but with its own character.

Storage
