• Grease a pie dish and set aside.
• In a pie dish combine first 5 ingredients (flour - garlic powder).
• In a seperate pie dish or bowl mix egg and milk together.
• In a third pie dish place bread crumbs.
• If set up assembly line fashion - this makes a really easy process to get the scallops ready - I use disposable pie tins for this (that come with frozen prepared pie crusts).
• Roll scallops in flour mixture and then dip in milk/egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
• Wrap each scallops with bacon, securing with toothpick and then transfer to prepared greased pie dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.

COUNTRY FRIED FLOURED BACON

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half, and place into a shallow dish with the half-and-half, crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. Soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying, tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor.
• Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. When the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half-and-half, and shake off the excess. Press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. If desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is covered. However, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
