Calories: 306kcal
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 16.3 ounce can Grands! biscuits
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 slices hormel bacon fried or baked until crispy and diced into small pieces
Heat oil over high heat.
Separate biscuits and cut out a hole in the center of each using the top of your plastic oil container to create the doughnuts.
Fry each doughnut until golden brown on both sides and drain on cooling rack with paper towels beneath.
While doughnuts drain, whisk together powdered sugar, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable in a medium sized bowl.
Dip one side of each doughnut into the maple glaze and place on a cooling rack.
Sprinkle bacon bits over the glaze of each doughnut and serve.
- Perfect Temperature for Frying: Ensure the oil is heated to the right temperature. Use a kitchen or candy thermometer to maintain a consistent high heat for frying.
- Efficient Doughnut Cutting: When cutting a hole in the center of each biscuit to create the doughnuts, use the top of your plastic oil container or something similar. This ensures each circle is uniform.
- Enjoy Fresh or Store Properly: Maple Bacon Doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh. Store what you don't eat properly for freshness. Though, I doubt you'll have many leftovers!
- Draining the Grease: Be sure allow the doughnuts time to drain well. Nothing is worse than a greasy doughnut.
- Crisp Bacon: Make sure you use fully cooked and crispy bacon for the best flavor and texture.
- Storing: Place them in an airtight container at room temperature; they'll stay fresh for up to two days. If you want to keep them a bit longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week, though this might affect their texture slightly. Remember, these treats are best enjoyed fresh for that perfect balance of sweet and savory goodness!
