Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bacon until slightly crisp. Set aside to cool.
  2. Chop the bacon as finely as possible.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until lightly whipped. Stir in the chopped bacon, adding any residual fat from the pan. Add the sugar, paprika, and pepper, and mix for 30 seconds.
  4. Transfer the butter to a sheet of cling film and roll into a sausage shape as you wrap it up. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. Enjoy on toast, as a substitute for regular butter in shortbread, or as a cooking fat.
