country fried floured bacon

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 pound thick sliced bacon
• 2 cups half-and-half cream
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 pinch white sugar
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• cut the bacon strips in half, and place into a shallow dish with the half-and-half, crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. this step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying, tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor.
• stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. when the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half-and-half, and shake off the excess. press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. if desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is coved. however, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.
• heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness, 2 to 3 minutes. drain on a paper towel.
