Fried Scallops with Bacon

Procure one and a half pounds fine fresh scallops. Clean them well, lay them on a dish and season with one teaspoon salt and a half teaspoon white pepper. Mix the seasoning will in. Sprinkle two ounces flour over them and thoroughly mix again. Beat up two eggs in a bowl, roll the scallops thoroughly in the eggs, then roll them well in bread crumbs. Have some boiling fat on the range, place the scallops in the frying basket, shake them well, then fry until they have obtained a nice golden colour. Take them up and drain thoroughly. Sprinkle half teaspoon salt over equally. Dress on a hot dish with a folded napkin. Place six thin slices of bacon over them and serve.
