Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons milk
For the Bacon Topping:
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
Instructions:
- Preparing the Donut Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
- Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Baking the Donuts:
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes.
- Transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
- Preparing the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- Glazing the Donuts:
- Dip each cooled donut into the maple glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack and immediately sprinkle with the crumbled bacon, ensuring it sticks to the glaze.
