MAPLE BARS (DOUGHNUTS)
I grew up with these oh so good bar doughnuts and didn't realize till recently that they are somewhat of a northwestern phenomenon. I actually halved the original recipe because it was so huge, so it does double. Don't use to much flour because it will make the dough tough. If you are feeling really decadent (they are already deep fried after all) I like to fill them with Bavarian cream filling which I get at our Cash and Carry restaurant supply store, or you can make it yourself.

Steps:
- Preheat Oven 350 degrees.
- Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine Cake mix with listed ingredients in a bowl, stirring until evenly mixed. Pour into prepared pan pan, making sure to smooth out the batter until even. Bake about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- While that cooks, prepare the frosting. (The frosting needs to go on the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven, because it is a quick-setting frosting) In a medium saucepan, add 1/2 butter and brown sugar and bring it to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, add in the 1/4 cup of milk and bring up to a boil, stirring frequently to create an even mixture.
- As soon as it starts boiling again, remove the pot from heat and add in the powdered sugar and maple flavoring. Beat with a wooden spoon until it is smooth. If you've timed it right, you should finish with this around the same time as the cake is being pulled from the oven. If it has already set, I stir it rapidly again.
- Pour the frosting over the top of the cake and spread it around to cover the entire surface. This will quickly set and harden.
- Cool completely.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- To ensure your maple bars turn out perfectly, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help ensure the dough comes together evenly and bakes evenly.
- For a richer flavor, use dark maple syrup in your dough and glaze. You can also add a teaspoon of maple extract to the dough for an extra boost of maple flavor.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix it until it is smooth and elastic.
- To get the perfect glaze consistency, whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk together until it is smooth and pourable. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more confectioners' sugar.
- For a professional-looking finish, dip the tops of the glazed maple bars in chopped walnuts, pecans, or sprinkles.
Conclusion:
These maple bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and fluffy dough, sweet maple glaze, and crunchy nuts, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these maple bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
