Preparing the Doughnuts

Beef BaconBacon Preparation

First things first, let’s get beef baconbeef bacon ready. This is a crucial step for flavor, so don’t rush it. You can eitherbeef baconyour beef bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s wonderfully crispy, or you can bake it. If baking, lay the slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches your desired crispness. Once cooked, drain any excess grease on a paper towel and then dice it into very small, confetti-like pbeef bacon. These little bacon bits will be our flavorful topping. Set these aside.

Biscuit Preparation

Now, let’s prepare our doughnut bases. Open the can of Grands! biscuits. You’ll notice they are already separated. Gently unroll each biscuit round. Now, this is where we make them into doughnut shapes. You can do this in a couple of ways. The easiest is to use a small, circular cookie cutter (about ½ to ¾ inch in diameter) to cut out the center of each biscuit, creating a hole. If you don’t have a small cutter, you can use a straw or even carefully poke a hole with your finger. Be gentle so you don’t tear the biscuit dough. Once you’ve cut out the centers, you’ll have rings and small biscuit centers. We’ll fry both!

Frying the Doughnuts

Heating the Oil

This is the part that requires a little attention. You’ll need a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for frying. Pour in enough vegetable oil so that it’s about 2 to 3 inches deep. Place the pot over medium-high heat. We’re looking for a temperature of around 350°F (175°C). It’s really important to use a thermometer for this. If the oil is too cool, your doughnuts will absorb too much grease and become heavy. If it’s too hot, they’ll burn on the outside before they cook through. You can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of biscuit dough in; it should sizzle immediately and float to the top.

Frying the Doughnuts and Centers

Once your oil has reached the correct temperature, it’s time to fry. Carefully place a few biscuit rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature, affecting the cooking. Fry the rings for about 1-2 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to carefully remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit rings. Don’t forget those little biscuit centers! They cook up super fast and are delicious little bites of fried dough. Fry them for about 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown, then remove and drain them as well.

Glazing and Topping

Making the Maple Glaze

While your doughnuts are cooling slightly, let’s whip up our simple yet irresistible maple glaze. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until you have a smooth, pourable glaze. If the glaze seems too thick, you can add a tiny bit more maple syrup or a teaspoon of milk (though we didn’t list milk as an ingredient, it can be a helpful addition if needed). If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the doughnuts but still pourable.

Glazing and Garnishing

Now for the most satisfying part! Take your slightly cooled doughnut rings and dip each one into the maple glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can also spoon the glaze over them if you prefer a lighter coating. Place the glazed rings back on the wire rack to let the excess glaze drip off. For the doughnut holes, you can either dip them directly into the glaze or simply toss them in it while they are still warm. Immediately after glazing, sprinkbeef bacone diced crispy beef bacon pieces generously over the top of each doughnut. The warmbeef bacon the glaze will help the bacon bits adhere beautifully. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before Beef Baconng your delightful Maple Beef Bacon Doughnuts. Enjoy these sweet and savory treats!
