Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups milk of choice (heated to 115 degrees)
  • 1 packet dry active yeast (2 1/4 tsp total)
  • 4 heaped tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups Kodiak Cakes 'all purpose baking mix'
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (** ICING **)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (** ICING **)
  • 2 tablespoons water (** ICING **)
  • 6 thick slices cooked bacon (reserve grease) (** TOPPING **)

Directions

Step 1
Combine yeast, 1 tbsp of sugar, and heated milk in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Let sit about 10 minutes until foamy. Add remaining sugar, plus water, salt, eggs, and bacon grease. Mix until well combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add Kodiak; beat until dough is smooth. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap; set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1?2 hours.
Step 2
Place dough onto lightly floured surface; roll dough into a 13" round about 1?2" thick. Using floured 3 1?2" and 1 1?2" ring cutters, cut out donuts and holes; gather and reuse scraps. Place on greased lined baking sheets, at least 3" apart, and cover loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel; set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325°. Transfer donuts to frying oil, working in batches. Cook, flipping once until puffed and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; let cool completely.
Step 4
In a medium sized bowl combine icing ingredients. Dip cooled donuts in icing and immediately sprinkle with chopped bacon.
