Breakfast




This morning I made pancakes and candied bacon.

It's easy.

To start the bacon take 2 cookie sheets of the same type and cover one with aluminum foil. Place as many pieces of bacon as you like on the foil and sprinkle them with brown sugar..a little cinnamon too if you feel adventurous. Some folks add maple syrup as well. Take the other cookie sheet and place it on top of the bacon like you were stacking the cookie sheets together.

Place in a 350 degree oven in the middle rack..for thick bacon 3o minutes should do. For regular thin sliced 15 to 20 minutes. If they need a bit more time you can take off the top pan and broil for a min or so but watch them carefully!

Pancakes:
1 cup flour
1 egg
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tsb brown sugar
3 tbs vegetable oil

Beat the egg in a large bowl and then mix in the other ingredients until combined..but don't over mix.

At this point you can add chopped bananas, walnuts blueberries, or whatever. If you add something with a lot of moisture add a bit more flour.

In a non stick skillet or (well seasoned cast iron)melt a little butter on medium heat and pour about 1/3 cup batter into the pan for each pancake...they are ready to flip when you see bubbles form on top and the edge gets a little crispy.

Enjoy.

Oh that looks good. Do you have to cover the bacon with foil too? I always worry about the grease splatters starting on fire.

I am going to gain about 100 pounds with little gem of cooking excellence.

Since you are using the second pan to cover and flatten the bacon you don't need the top foil..plus it may get stuck to the sugar and make the bacon hard to remove.

I like bacon but I never tried it with sweet stuff on it.

Candied bacon? Like it's not bad enough being 95% fat? Sounds so yummy.

Woe - I do not "do" breakfast. That's hubby's job. Not sure he'd break with traditional bacon. He makes pancakes quite frequently.

Always found that you can sprinkle sugar on the bacon as it's frying and come up with something pretty damn close.
Hey, do you guys have Albertsons down there?
If so, give their deli bacon a whirl.
Great stuff, extra thick and it cost less than the prepackaged crapola.

Looks delicious. Too bad the husband isn't supposed to have much added sugar, not to mention for weight loss purposes I buy turkey bacon. It looks a lot like Beggin' Strips, but it beats nothing.

Sigh.
