Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb thick sliced bacon
2 cups half and half
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Pinch of white sugar
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Directions:
Cut the bacon strips in half, and placed into a shallow dish with the half and half; crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. Soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying; tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor

Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. When the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half and half and shake off the excess. Press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. If desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is covered. However, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium low heat. Fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness—2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel

Personal Notes:
I haven't tried baking this in the oven, but I do bake hog jowl this way and it is awesome. I also bake bacon in the oven rather than stove top if I am just having bacon
