Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 30m

Yield 6 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups walnuts
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped finely
1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 stick cinnamon
1/2 lemon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 homemade or prepared plain doughnuts, such as Bobby Flay's Plain Doughnuts, recipe follows
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling and frying
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for sprinkling and flouring

Steps:

  • For the topping: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool slightly and chop. Put in a shallow dish with the bacon and mix together. Set aside.
  • For the apple cider glaze: In a small saucepot, add the apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and a squeeze of lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until syrupy and reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a bowl and slowly pour in 1/4 cup of the glaze, a little at a time. Whisk together until smooth.
  • To top the doughnuts: Gently dip the top of each plain doughnut into the glaze and let any excess drip back into the bowl. Next, lightly dip the glazed tops into the chopped walnuts and bacon. Place on a wire rack to let set.
  • Bring the milk to a simmer in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Pour into a large bowl and let cool slightly.
  • While the milk is cooling, dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl, stirring. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir the yeast mixture into the milk mixture along with the oil, lemon zest and eggs. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour with a wooden spoon to make a very soft dough. Spread 1 cup of the flour on a work surface and put the dough on top, scraping it from the bowl with a rubber spatula. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, incorporating all of the flour from the work surface and adding just enough additional flour (if necessary); the dough should be slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to an oiled large bowl and sprinkle lightly with additional flour. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out with a floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2-inch cutter. To make ring shapes, cut out doughnut holes with a 1-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet, cover the doughnuts with another kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • While the doughnuts rise, heat about 10 cups vegetable oil in a deep 4-quart pot until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the doughnuts 2 at a time, turning once or twice, until puffed and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

GLAZED BACON



Glazed Bacon image

Betty Groff, the home cook turned proprietor of Groff's Farm Restaurant, once said that there were only two authentic American cuisines: Pennsylvania Dutch and Creole. Her brown-sugar-glazed bacon represents the former, and she occasionally served it as an hors d'oeuvre at her restaurant, which she started in her family's 1756 Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouse in Mount Joy in the late 1950s. The restaurant became a place of pilgrimage for food lovers, among them Craig Claiborne, who wrote an article about it in The New York Times in 1965. This recipe, which Ms. Groff said "will amaze every guest," serves six, but she noted that you can easily scale it up to serve 30, or possibly more.

Time 40m

Yield 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 pound thick-cut bacon slices (about 6 slices)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil; it should be large enough to hold the bacon in a single layer. Place bacon in pan and bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. While bacon cooks, mix remaining ingredients together.
  • Drain bacon fat from pan. Brush the bacon strips on both sides with the brown sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and cook another 10 minutes or so, until glaze is bubbling and darkened.
  • Remove bacon from the oven and transfer to a cutting board or platter lined with foil or parchment paper. Let cool about 15 minutes. Bacon should not be sticky to the touch. Cut each strip in thirds and arrange on a serving dish.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, or more to taste
1 teaspoon finely sliced fresh sage leaves, or more to taste
1 tablespoon bread crumbs, or as needed
¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts, or to taste
¼ cup chopped dried cranberries, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 thinly sliced bacon, or as needed
⅔ cup white wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cold butter
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place tenderloin on a flat work surface. Slice lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spread open the 2 sides like a book.
  • Sandwich butterflied tenderloin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Flatten using a meat pounder to 1/4-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread 2 teaspoons Dijon thinly over tenderloin. Sprinkle rosemary and sage on top; distribute evenly using a spoon. Dust the surface with bread crumbs. Sprinkle with walnuts and cranberries.
  • Fold the ends in about 1 inch. Roll tenderloin up from the long side as tightly and neatly as possible, forming a tube. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Unwrap tenderloin and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly season with kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Wrap tenderloin in a single layer of bacon, tucking the ends underneath.
  • Roast in the center of the preheated oven until the bacon is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While tenderloin roasts, combine white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon in a pan over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce reduces by about half, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off heat and swirl in butter, salt, and pepper, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove tenderloin from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice at a slight angle and serve with sauce.
