Description
These delightful donut sticks bring together sweet and savory flavors, featuring crispy bacon and a rich maple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 4 strips of crispy bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir gently to disperse the ingredients evenly.
- Whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg in another bowl until smooth and combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix; some lumps are perfectly alright!
- Fold in the crispy bacon pieces, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a piping bag or a spoon, shaping it into stick forms, approximately 1 inch wide.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Whisk together the maple syrup and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth to prepare the glaze.
- Dip the warm donut sticks into the glaze, allowing it to generously coat them, and serve warm.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the batter in advance and store in the refrigerator. Use parchment paper to ensure easy release.
