Ingredients
Vegetable oil
1
egg
1/2
cup milk
2
tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2
cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4
cup packed brown sugar
2
teaspoons baking powder
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
6
slices maple-flavored bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
3
cups powdered sugar
1/3
cup water
1/3
cup maple-flavored syrup
Preparation
In 3-quart heavy saucepan or 4-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 inches oil to 350°F.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat egg, milk and butter with fork. Stir in flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and bacon.
Carefully drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 6 balls at a time, into hot oil. Fry doughnut balls 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown; drain on paper towels until cooled, about 20 minutes.
In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and water until smooth; stir in maple-flavored syrup. Add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thick glazing consistency. Dip cooled doughnut balls into glaze; let excess drip off. (If glaze disappears while drying, glaze may be too thin. Try dipping balls again, or thicken up glaze by adding a small amount of powdered sugar.) Place glazed doughnut balls on cooling rack; let stand until glaze is set, about 10 minutes.
