Ingredients:

Vegetable oil for frying
1 can (16.3 ounce) Grands! biscuits
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon melted butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 slices beef beef bacon, fried or baked until crispy and diced into small pieces

Preparing the Doughnuts

Let’s get started on these incredible Maple Beef BaconBacon Doughnuts! This recipe is a delightful fusion of sweet and savory, perfect for a weekend brunch or an adventurous treat. The foundation of our doughnuts will be store-bought biscuits, which makes this recipe incredibly accessible and quick to prepare. First, we need to get our frying oil ready. Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to reach a depth of about 2 to 3 inches. We want enough oil for the doughnuts to float freely, ensuring even cooking and a beautiful, golden-brown crust. Heat the oil over medium heat to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Using a thermometer is highly recommended to maintain the correct oil temperature; too low and the doughnuts will be greasy, too high and they’ll burn before they cook through.

While the oil is heating, it’s time to prepare the biscuits. Open the can of Grands! biscuits. Gently separate the biscuits and, using your fingers or a small cookie cutter, create a hole in the center of each biscuit. You can make these holes freehand by pressing your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon through the center, or you can use a small round cutter to make a clean hole. This will give us those classic doughnut shapes and ensure that the insides cook thoroughly. If you prefer a filled doughnut, you can skip this step and simply fry the whole biscuit, then inject a filling later. For this recipe, however, we’re aiming for the traditional ring shape.

Frying the Doughnuts

Once your oil has reached 350°F (175°C), it’s time to fry! Carefully, and in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, place the prepared biscuit rings into the hot oil. Don’t try to cram too many in at once, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in unevenly cooked doughnuts. Let them fry for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until they are a beautiful golden brown. You’ll see them puff up and start to float. Use a slotted spoon or a spider strainer to gently flip them over, ensuring both sides get that lovely color and crispness. Once they are golden brown on both sides, carefully remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will allow any excess oil to drain off, keeping them from becoming too greasy. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit rings.

Creating the Maple Glaze

Now for the star of the show – the glaze! In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. The consistency should be pourable but thick enough to coat the doughnuts. If the glaze seems too thick, you can add a tiny splash more maple syrup or a teaspoon of milk (though we aren’t using milk as an ingredient, a drop or two won’t hurt if you need it). If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition until you achieve the desired thickness. The aroma of the maple syrup and vanilla together is absolutely divine and hints at the deliciousness to come.

Assembling and Finishing

Once your fried doughnut rings have cooled slightly on the wire rack, it’s time to bring everything together. Take each doughnut ring and dip it, one side at a time, into the prepared maple glaze. You can generously coat the top half, or dip the entire ring for a more decadent finish. Let the excess glaze drip back into the bowl for a moment before placing the glazed doughnut back onto the wire rack. Immediately after glazing, sprinkle the diced, crbeef baconbeef bacon pieces over the beef baconlaze. The bacon will adhere to the glaze, creating those irresistible sweet and savory pockets of flavor. Work quickly, as the glaze will start to set.
