Step 2Cinnamon Vanilla Fried Bacon
As we all know, Bacon is the best thing ever invented. It serves our primal instinct to domesticate animals for the sole purpose of eating parts of them. Bacon affects a certain portion of the population (namely, males) in a way that cannot be described. The smell of bacon can cheer up a depressed person, and the feeling of biting into a crisp strip is rivaled by few other experiences in life.
For this step, you'll need four strips of bacon, cut into "chips" about 3/4" across.
I find the easiest way to do this is to lay the bacon strips on top of each other and cut all four at once.
You don't really have to pull them apart, just throw them into a COOL frying pan and turn the burner on high. If you have an electric stove, you're going to have to improvise.
Stir the bacon with a wooden spoon or tongs, until smoke/steam starts coming out.
Once that happens, pour in your cooking oil, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, then add a few more swigs. Stir frequently, and add in about three shakes of cinnamon (from the spout with the holes)
Your kitchen should start smelling pretty damn good by now, so pour in a bit more oil to coat the bacon, but NOT drown it.
Next up is the vanilla. pour in about a half a shot glass' worth of vanilla extract (really, it's a matter of taste, and most of the vanilla gets burnt off, so do whatever you feel like), and get ready with the wooden spoon to stir FAST. the vanilla's going to want to burn up, so stir it quickly.
The bacon's done when it starts to look like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. look at the pictures to see what I mean.
Drain your oil into an appropriate container, and set your bacon on a paper towel.
IMPORTANT. LET YOUR FRYING PAN COOL A LITTLE, BUT WASH IT ASAP.
By the way, your kitchen will smell like this for days, and it is the most amazing thing to wake up to in the morning.
