Maple Bars (Doughnuts) image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup warm water
6 tablespoons margarine
1 cup milk (scalded)
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
6 -7 cups flour

4 1/2 cups powdered sugar

4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons maple flavoring

  • In a bowl place yeast and 1/2 water, to activate.
  • Place butter, salt, and sugar in hot scalded milk, then add cold water.
  • Mix well and add eggs to this.
  • When it is cool enough place in mixer with yeast mixture.
  • Add flour 1 c at a time till soft but workable dough.
  • Roll out on lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut into rectangular bars about 2-3 inches by5-6 inches.
  • Let rise till doubled.
  • Heat oil to 350°F and fry till browned on both sides.
  • Drain on paper towels and when cool fill with bavarian cream if desired and frost.
  • Frosting:.
  • Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix with a hand blender till smooth.
  • I frost mine as I eat them because if you let the frosting sit it will start to slide off the doughnut.

I'm not a huge fan of maple, but these maple bars were surprisingly good. The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my maple bars turned out dry. Not sure what went wrong.

The glaze on these maple bars was a bit too runny, but the flavor was still good.

I've tried many maple bar recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is light and fluffy, and the maple glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
