Bacon Doughnuts with Maple Glaze – Vote For Hope

bacon doughnuts with maple glaze

I cannot be clear enough about this…if you love doughnuts and if you love bacon then you must make these bacon maple doughnuts…they are infinitely superior to plain doughnuts, more addicting than crack muffins, and fraking tasty with a hot cup of coffee…really they’re enormously excellent!

These babies are super simple to make; dice up a quarter pound of the best bacon you can find and cook it until crispy, let it cool a bit then work it into the doughnut dough, roll the critters and fry them up all according to the directions for the plain doughnuts. Top them with a glaze made from powdered sugar and real maple syrup. WoooHooo…trust me on this, you do not want to miss out on this tasty, porcine treat.

Take some time to plan your day on Tuesday, November 4th. If you haven’t voted already then you may want to head to your polling place early on Tuesday, maybe bring a book, a snack, digital music, water…whatever you need to make the wait in line easier to handle. Voting is just like a bacon doughnut…it’s something you don’t want to pass up. So plan ahead people, make arrangements, and vote.

    I already voted for hope and now I’m voting for these bacon doughnuts!! Obama soon to be in the White House and Maple Bacon Doughnuts soon to be in my kitchen. Things are looking up!

    Wow!!! That’s the coolest idea I’ve seen in a long time! Bacon in a donut. MmMmMMMmmMM.

    Those doughnuts sound sinfully delicious! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

    This formerly registered Republican voted for HOPE&CHANGE this week! I can’t wait until Tuesday night!

    Holy… This is way too indulgent even for me, and I tend to be a bit more open-minded about food than the next person. I want a dozen.

    Drooool!!! These look amazing. Now, if only I could get over my fear of frying in the apartment…

    Yes, but has anyone ever made pumpkin pie with bacon? Tis the season…

    I would vote if I could… instead, I’ll just make donuts! Mmmm bacon!

    This looks fab!
    I’m tempted but a bit concerned about the amount of calories, are we talking shedloads here? Enjoyed the video, fingers crossed over here!

    I’m amazed Vanessa. I just went through my blog links from A to you and I reckon there are enough Food Bloggers for Obama to make a serious party. Including at least two registered Republican food bloggers who say they’ve voted for him. Not for me to get involved in other countries’ elections, but it’s hard not to get excited, even from this distance.

    made these last night, and they were great. way easier than I thought donut making could be. I cooked them in my deep fryer with good results. thanks for a great recipe!

    ewww, bacon in donuts?

  14. Jhimli on November 6th, 2008

    I can’t wait to show these to my husband! He thought I was insane when I wanted shrimp doughnuts when I was pregnant two years ago. I made them a couple of months ago and they were awesome. These look soooo good.

  15. DeDe on November 10th, 2008

    I believe you have created the perfect food…awesome…can’t wait to make.

    thanks for the recipe!

    I think you are absolutely genius with this recipe! I would have never thought of this myself but maple syrup and bacon are so good together. Throw in some deep fried bread…I am so on board. Oh, and a little late congrats on Obama from your neighbor to the North, where we have wicked Maple syrup ;)

    That’s not so zany. In Latvia, a common snack is the bacon pirag, which is bacon wrapped in dough. This just adds sweetness to balance the salt. Nice one!
