Servings: 8 doughnuts
Calories: 306kcal
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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!
