easy entertaining | food browned. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: It’s important to use a total of 1 cup of fat in this recipe. The amount of fat rendered from the bacon will tell you how much butter you need to use. For example, if you have ¼ cup bacon fat, you’ll use ¾ cup unsalted butter to equal 1 cup. Generally, 1 pound of bacon renders 1⁄ 3 cup fat, in which case you’d add 2⁄ 3 cup butter to equal 1 cup total fat. However, all bacon is not the same in terms of thickness, size, fat content, or quality.
