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

The foundation of our Maple Beef Beef BaconBacon Doughnuts is surprisingly simple, thanks to store-bought biscuits. This makes the process accessible for bakers of all levels. First, gather your Grands! biscuits. You’ll want to open the can and carefully separate the individual biscuits. It’s important to handle them gently to avoid tearing, which can lead to uneven cooking. Once separated, you’ll need to prepare them for frying. This involves creating the doughnut hole. You can do this by using a small cookie cutter, a shot glass, or even the tip of a paring knife to cut a small circle out of the center of each biscuit. Save these smaller circles, as they can be fried up as little doughnut holes too! Set your prepared biscuit rings aside.

Frying the Doughnuts

Now it’s time for the exciting part: frying! You’ll need a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or a Dutch oven for this. Pour enough vegetable oil into the pot to reach a depth of about 2 to 3 inches. We want enough oil to fully submerge the biscuits so they fry evenly. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. It’s crucial to get the oil to the right temperature, which is around 350-365 degrees Fahrenheit (175-185 degrees Celsius). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of biscuit dough into it. If it sizzles immediately and floats to the surface, the oil is ready. If it browns too quickly, the oil is too hot; if it barely sizzles, it’s not hot enough. Carefully, using tongs or a slotted spoon, lower 2-3 biscuit rings into the hot oil at a time. Don’t overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy doughnuts. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are puffed up and a beautiful golden brown. They cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them. Using your tongs or slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows excess oil to drain off. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit rings and the small doughnut hole pieces.

Crafting the Maple Glaze

While the doughnuts are cooling slightly on the wire rack, we’ll prepare the irresistible maple 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. You’re looking for a pourable, yet thick, consistency. If the glaze seems too thick, you can add a tiny splash more maple syrup or a teaspoon of water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired texture. Conversely, if it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. The aroma of the maple and vanilla together is heavenly!

Glazing and Topping

Once the doughnuts have cooled enough to handle but are still warm, it’s time to glaze them. You can do this in a few ways. For a thorough coating, you can carefully dip each doughnut ring into the glaze, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Alternatively, you can spoon the glaze over the top of each doughnut, letting it cascade down the sides. This method offers a more artisanal look. For the doughnut holes, simply drop them into the bowl of glaze and toss gently to coat them completely. As soon as the glaze is applied, and while it’s still wet, generously sprinkle the diced, crbeef baconbeef bacon pieces over the top of each glazed doughnut. The warmth of the glazebeef bacon help the bacon adhere. Work quickly, as the glaze will start to set.

Finishing Touches and Serving

Allow the glazed doughnuts to sit on the wire rack for a few minutes to let the glaze set up slightly. This will prevent them from being too messy when you serve them.
