Advice
These claps are best eaten immediately, but they can be frozen and heated. When you need a quick, nutritious bite, simply leave the applause in the microwave for 40 seconds on a paper napkin, then cool briefly.
They can also be stored, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to four days for an easy breakfast.
Advice! Bringing bacon to room temperature before frying and adding bacon to a cold pan, then turning the fire on to medium, helps the bacon bake evenly.
