Method
 

  1. Lay bacon strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Lightly dust both sides with all-purpose flour using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Refrigerate uncovered overnight to dry the surface and firm the fat.

  5. Flip in the final minutes if desired, then drain on paper towels or a rack.

Notes

For best results, dust lightly—too much flour can create a heavy coating.
