Battered bacon?

[Bubo]

I made some batter the other day to do mushrooms and sausages, as you do. It has occured to me, has anyone ever battered bacon? Spam fritters I suppose is the closest approximation in a chip shop, but why not actual bacon rashers battered and fried? Have I stumbled upon a millionaire scheme here?

The only thing bacon should be battered with is more bacon.


Perfection can't be improved on.

Couldn't agree more!

You're wrong there. The complete opposite is true. ANYTHING can be improved by batter.

...even batter?

Can't see it working, batter protects the inside. Your going to have soggy stringy fatty bacon. Rather than crispy goodness.

Or cook the bacon, allow to cool then batter it, that could work.

Most deffinately.

The chippy I used to work at after school did double battered sausages - cooked sausage dipped in battered then fried then dipped in batter and fried again

I'm in total agreement with Cob.

Adding bacon improves almost every recipe, very few things if any added to bacon improve bacon.

Bacon is the most amazing of foods, and like already mentioned, it can vastly improve a dish.

Very tempted to try. Good thinking OP.

I think I underestimated the bacon fundamentalists. Bacon is a bit like the koran, open to radical interpretation with possible jihad if the hardline interpretation is threatened by infidels and their batter.

Batter Inception?

Chicken fried bacon is a thing, essentially bacon fried in a KFC style coating. Not something I've tried first hand though.

You could make it a beer batter.
