Old-Fashioned Dandelion Gravy

Ingredients

Scale
  • 67 slices bacon
  • 2 T. flour
  • 2 T. sugar
  • 2 T. vinegar
  • 2 eggs
  • some water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh dandelion greens*
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs

Instructions

  1. Chop bacon in 1″ pieces and fry in pan.  When it is crispy, drain on a paper towel.
  2. Dispose of the grease but keep about a tablespoon of it in the pan.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, vinegar, and eggs. Add enough water to make a thin paste consistency.
  4. Stir this into the bacon grease and cook till thickened -gravy consistency.
  5. Add washed dandelion greens, stirring in just to wilt.
  6. Slice the hard-boiled eggs on top and crumble the bacon on top of the eggs.
  7. Serve over salt-water boiled potatoes, mashed if desired.

Notes

  • *Harvest dandelion greens before the yellow flowers emerge. After they bloom, the taste of the greens becomes much more bitter.
