Instructions: Carefully wash and prepare dandelion greens as you would lettuce (never use dandelion greens after they have begun to flower because they are apt to be bitter). Roll in a cloth and pat dry. Put the greens aside in a salad bowl.

Cut up bacon in small pieces and fry until they are light brown. In a medium bowl, beat egg and add sugar, salt, flour, cider vinegar and cream or milk and stir it all together. Pour this into the pan with the bacon. Stir constantly and cook until thickened. Cool slightly and pour over the washed dandelions.

Serve immediately. Some recipes call for slicing two hard-cooked eggs over the salad, however I dont recall my mother ever doing that.
