Description
Sweet and savory donuts with maple glaze and crispy bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out donuts using a donut cutter or two different sized round cutters.
- Place donuts on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack set over paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Dip warm donuts in the maple glaze and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
- Do not overcrowd the pot when frying donuts.
- Allow excess oil to drain off the donuts before glazing.
