Ingredients
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1/ 3 cup cocoa powder, preferably Valrhona
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until the mixture starts to come together in small clusters.
Spread the clusters on a parchment- or Silpat-lined sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes, breaking them up occasionally. The crumbs should still be slightly moist to the touch at that point; they will dry and harden as they cool.
Let the crumbs cool completely before using in a recipe or eating. Stored in an airtight container, they will keep fresh for 1 week at room temperature or 1 month in the fridge or freezer.
