My mother used to make these years ago and kept warm on a warming tray (the kind that is plugged into the wall)and my dh really liked them, so I was glad when I came across this recipe for them in an old Bon Appetit (April 1982)
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
21 sea scallops
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup breadcrumbs
7 slices bacon, strips cut into thirds
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.
2. Grease a pie dish and set aside.
3. In a pie dish combine first 5 ingredients (flour - garlic powder).
4. In a seperate pie dish or bowl mix egg and milk together.
5. In a third pie dish place bread crumbs.
6. If set up assembly line fashion - this makes a really easy process to get the scallops ready - I use disposable pie tins for this (that come with frozen prepared pie crusts).
7. Roll scallops in flour mixture and then dip in milk/egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
8. Wrap each scallops with bacon, securing with toothpick and then transfer to prepared greased pie dish.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
10. Serve warm (see description above for my mother's method) with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
