Instructions:
- Prepare Flour Coating: In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
- Coat Bacon: Pat bacon slices dry with a paper towel. Dredge each slice in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to ensure even coating. Shake off excess flour.

- Drain Bacon: Once bacon is crispy and cooked to your desired doneness, remove from skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve country fried floured bacon hot and crispy. Enjoy on its own or with other breakfast items. For added flavor, drizzle with hot sauce, maple syrup, or honey.
