We had a food truck theme dinner here at my house tonight and this was one of my contributions. I love sweet and savory (and bacon!) so I thought this combo would be awesome. The doughnut dough was made in the bread machine which I think makes it so much easier. Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk |
2 large free range eggs |
5 tablespoons melted butter, unsalted |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
canola oil for frying |
maple bourbon glaze |
2 cups powdered sugar |
real maple syrup |
marker's mark bourbon |
splash of heavy cream |
bacon sprinkles |
1 package of applewood smoked bacon (high quality) baked, finely chopped/crumbled |
Directions:
1. Place ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer and set to dough setting. When cycle is done, remove dough, punch down and let rest 10 minutes.
2. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Place on lightly floured board, cover and let rise about 1 hour or until very light.
3. In the meantime make the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, and enough maple syrup to make a thick paste in a mixing bowl. Mix well and add just enough cream until glaze is the consistency you desire. Add bourbon to taste.(A thinner consistency will produce a thin glaze on the doughnuts or a thicker consistency will be more like a frosting.)
4. Fry dough in preheated 375°F (190°C) oil, a few at a time, about 2 minutes, each side. Drain on paper towel.
5. Dip one side of each doughnut into the glaze and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle a little bacon on each doughnut.
