Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's about 110°F (lukewarm). Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter. Pour the yeast mixture and the egg mixture into the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into bar shapes (approximately 4 inches by 2 inches) and place the bars on a lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry the doughnuts in batches, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To make the maple glaze, combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
While the doughnuts are still slightly warm, dip the tops into the maple glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to let the glaze set.
Serve the maple bars fresh and enjoy!
