OH.MY.GOD. I will be making these, probably today, but tomorrow for breakfast if I am able to show any restraint. One quick question. I'm not a fan of maple ANYTHING, would honey work as well?
Also, I have a niece who is a quasi-vegetarian... she eats poultry, but not beef, pork or seafood, but will not, under any circumstances, eat bacon, ham or sausage. Even if it's made with chicken or turkey. Personally, I don't get it, but hey, to each their own, right? That just means more tasty bacon for me! ;o)
@Jude: Farmland makes a great bacon, and if you live in the Ohio/PA area, Giant Eagle brand is also pretty good. Also, Indiana Kitchen is pretty tasty, and not too pricey. Since I can't afford to (am too cheap too?) pay more than about $4 for a pound of bacon, I can't comment on the more "gourmet" brands.
Honey might burn, Debbi; you'd be safer with corn syrup, agave, cane syrup, or something else. Or just up the butter and sugar if you like - should be just fine. And personally, with bacon costing what it does these days, I'm sticking with store brand for the foreseeable future. Though Boar's Head also tempts me, and is slightly less expensive than national brands. PJH
