Baconfloddies Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY BACON BITES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in an even layer in a large skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is light golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Pour off some of the rendered bacon fat, leaving just a small amount. Return the skillet to the heat and pour the maple syrup mixture over the bacon. Braise gently until the syrup thickens and glazes the bacon and the bacon is deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

BACON WAFFLES

Steps:

• Spray a waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and preheat it.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Beat the egg whites in a second medium bowl until stiff.
• Beat the egg yolks with the milk and butter in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just blended. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Place 2 halves of a bacon slice in each waffle grid and close the cover. Cook for 1 minute and then add a scant 1/2 cup batter to each waffle grid. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.

BACON FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Wrap half a bacon slice around each French fry and place seam side-down on the baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Transfer to serving plate.

BACON FLODDIES

Steps:

• Shred the potatoes, squeeze out any liquid and place in a bowl.
• Shred or finely chop the onions and add to the potatoes with the bacon, flour and seasoning.
• Mix very well together.
• Stir in the eggs.
• Heat the oil or bacon fat in a large frying pan.
• Put tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and fry steadily for 5-8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through.
• Drain on kitchen paper and keep hot until ready to serve with sausages and eggs.

GATESHEAD BACON FLODDIES

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes onto a clean dish cloth, then gather up the edges to make a pouch. Squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Grate or finely chop the onion into a large bowl and add the potatoes, chopped bacon, flour and seasonings. Mix well.
• Beat the eggs and stir into the potato mixture. Heat some oil in a large frying pan. Add heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten them to make thin pancakes. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Lift out, drain on paper towels and serve.
