THE GREAT BRITISH BACON BUTTY - BACON SANDWICH
The news is out - scientists at my old university, (Leeds University in West Yorkshire) have discovered the PERFECT way to make a "Bacon Butty", that quintessential British sandwich, and they have devised a mathematical formula for it!! The bacon butty is one of my FAVOURITE sandwiches of all times.......especially when doused in HP Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce! Here is my method - it's hardly a recipe, more of an idea and an assembly job! I have posted their mathematical formula at the end of the recipe - my formula is: Eat your bacon butty whilst it's still hot and crispy!! Please increase the quantities as needed. I like to use smoked bacon, but any good quality dry cure bacon will be fine.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
- Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
- (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
- Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
- Add sauces to taste.
- Enjoy!
- The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
- The Scientist's Formula:.
- Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
- They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
- A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
- Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
- The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs and milk with the sugar in a bowl. Soak the white sliced bread in the mixture.

Remove from the pan and sandwich 2 slices of bacon between the slices of French toast. Repeat with the remaining soaked bread to make the other sandwich.

BRITISH BACON BUTTY/ SANDWICH
A bacon sandwich is a very British breakfast. This is my favourite version of it. The type of bacon to use is back bacon, not the typical American streaky bacon. Everyone has their favourite version of this recipe- this is just my take on a classic! My nephew is a picky eater and this sandwich was his first ever taste of bacon! To make this Weight Watchers friendly, I sometimes use the bacon medallions that have the fat trimmed off- if using these, reduce the cooking time so they don't dry out. This is also excellent served in a white roll with a fried egg.

Steps:
- Heat a griddle or frying pan, then cook the bacon for 3 mins each side or until golden and crisp.

- To get a really crisp edge, snip a few small cuts in the fat around each bacon rasher. This will also stop it from curling up too much when cooking.
- It's best to buy dry-cure bacon if you can, as less water is released when frying, ensuring really crisp fat (the best bit) and a better flavour.
- Lay the bacon in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it's as crispy as you prefer. Remove the bacon and divide between 2 slices of bread. Spread either tomato ketchup or brown sauce on to the remaining 2 slices and place sauce-side down in the pan.
