- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon smoky paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1 lb sliced bacon, slices halved for easier handling
- 1 large onion, cut into chunks
- oil (for frying)
directions
- Combine first 7 ingredients (through cayenne powder) and mix well.
- Fry bacon halfway to your liking.
- Heat about ½ inch of oil in large skillet to 350°F.
- Dust bacon and onion chunks with seasoned flour, shake off excess (I use a mesh colander) and place in heated oil, being careful not to crowd, which lowers the heat and allows too much oil to soak into what you’re frying.
- Fry to your desired doneness - (This is so subjective, I’m going to leave it up to you) – golden brown works for me.
- Not just for breakfast, consider also using as a garnish for a steak or on a bed of warm, braised brussels sprouts tossed in garlic and mustard.
