  • 1 cup flour
  • .5 tsp black pepper
  • .25 tsp baking soda
  • .25 tsp baking powder

Do this

  • Fry bacon to desired crispiness. Pat grease off bacon with paper towels and let cool. Reserve bacon fat in pan for later frying

  • Dunk bacon slices in flour mixture. Dunk into the egg mixture. Dunk again in the flour mixture
  • Fry briefly on both sides until coating is golden brown
