Recipe Description
-Bacon (of course)
This batch of pancake batter will make approximately sixteen half slices of bacon.
For the batter...
1 egg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Don't worry about having extra batter, it makes a great funnel cake.
jelly (optional)
My mom loves bacon and jelly, so when I make them for her I insert jelly.
You also need...
a deep fryer (or just a sauce pan)
canola (or other oil) for deep frying
skewers
a cookie sheet
Main ingredient, BACON!
Begin by preheating your oven to 375o
Cut eight slices of bacon (or however many your making) in half.
Next, roll and stick on the skewer. You don't want them touching because they don't cook evenly if they are touching.
Put them in the oven for 30-45 minutes, turning them over about every 15 minutes. If the pan is over flowing with grease, take it out and pour off the excess grease.
When the bacon is done remove from skewers.
Beat the egg until it is fluffy.
Add other ingredients, and stir until smooth.
1 egg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
This is something generally only add if I'm making these for someone who loves bacon with jelly (like my mom).
To add jelly simply remove bacon from skewer and unroll. Then, put a small spoonful of jelly in and roll back up.
Or, if jelly isn't your thing, you could always experiment to find your own favorite fillings.
---After thought---
On this instructables' comment board, Dartssnake suggested using a pastry bag to fill the bacon so that you don't have to roll and re-roll. This should help the bacon maintain it's round shape.
Take the bacon bites, and dip into the pancake batter.
Next, with oil at about 335o, drop bacon with batter into the oil.
Allow to cook until golden.
If you have extra batter, you can just drizzle it into the oil and allow to cook until golden. Then, remove from the oil, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You have just created a funnel cake.
I enjoy dipping these bacony bites in my favorite maple syrup, but the jelly filled ones I eat plain. These aren't just breakfast food! They taste good any time of day.
