Bacon butties are the ultimate weekend indulgence, particularly if you’re a fan of crispy bacon – and there’s an essential ingredient that might just elevate your breakfast game. TikTok sensation (@thechoppedcouple) has become a hit with a savvy cooking hack, catching the attention of over three million viewers.

Aiming to assist bacon-lovers in achieving that extra crunch at home, they posted a video with the captivating caption: “Do you flour your bacon?” The social media whizzes boasted that the method “creates perfectly crispy bacon for BLTs by reducing the curling!”

To start off, line a baking tray using either a silicone mat or parchment paper, then lay down the bacon strips side by side on the tray, reports the Express.

Then, following @thechoppedcouple’s lead, take a sprinkle of plain flour and lightly dust it across the bacon. While the specific baking instructions were not covered, one can gather from the context that the tray was then popped into the oven until the bacon sizzled to scrumptious crispiness.

It’s still up for debate as to whether the bacon needs to be turned halfway through and floured on the other side too. But the comments section has lit up with users offering their own spins on the method, including tossing the rashers in a ziplock bag full of flour for a thorough coating prior to grilling.

Some suggested trying cornflour instead to achieve an “even crispier” texture.

One user going by ‘TG’ stands firm on the flour technique but gives it a twist by frying up the rashers in a pan: “We have always done it this way. Coat both sides lightly and fry.”

A second TikTok aficionado proclaimed it to be the “best bacon ever” with another exclaiming: “Ok this looks [like a] game changer.”

The online conversation overflowed with additional advice for those eager to master the art of crispy bacon, including one tip of glazing bacon with maple syrup and dusting it with brown sugar.

Another food lover endorsed the technique, labelling such sweetened strips as “candied bacon”. For devotees who shy away from oven baking, tossing bacon in an air fryer was suggested to achieve similar levels of crispness.

On another note, starting the cooking process by simmering bacon in a frying pan with a dash of water has garnered popularity for its crunch-inducing prowess.

The water method stands out because it “prevents the temperature from getting too high which gives the fat [on the bacon] the time to render out” leading to an ideal level of crispiness.

As the water dissolves, it leaves behind perfectly crisped bacon without the threat of it being overdone or charred.
