Put the egg powder, lemon juice and water into a tall plastic cup and mix thoroughly first, then add everything else and use an immersion blender on high to make it all into mayo. Its magic!
 
Follow package directions on a pack of Hidden Valley Ranch and use this bacon mayo
Add a T hot sauce and serve in a little bowl with the Bacon Fingers

Make the fingers

Slice the bacon into 2 x 4 inch "fingers".

Put it into a large pot/Dutch Oven and cover in Lard. Place in a 250F preheated oven for 5-6 hours.

Pull out the fingers, strain the lard and save for another use.

Gently pat them dry, place on a plate and refrigerate till firm again.

Put a pot of oil on to deep fry (medium heat)

Dip the fingers in Fry Flour first, then beaten egg, then fry flour again.

Deep fry till golden.

Serve with the ranch you made and maybe some Salad.
