Bacon is most usually eaten hot in the UK. It can be added crispy and cold to salads or to garnish a beef burger but it is most commonly eaten, cooked for breakfast. Hence my confusion.

When you say hot bacon - what is the alternative? I am from the UK and things sometimes get lost in translation so apologies. Also, you might find you get a crisper product if you cook it in smaller batches.

I went off and found a recipe for american biscuits. It seems that you make them a bit like flakey pastry only quicker (folding the dough and rolling it out). Any way, I will give it a go one day. Think they would be nice with soup.
