While these delicious bite-size treats are ready in minutes, they’ll disappear in a flash. And don’t relegate the deep-fried goodness to the breakfast nook—I’ve never had anyone turn these down no matter the time of day. —Chelsea Turner, Lake Elsinore, CA

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 maple-flavored bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
  2. Heat oil to 350° in an electric skillet or deep fryer. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning often. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, milk and vanilla until smooth. Dip warm doughnuts into glaze; sprinkle tops with bacon.
