← All about balance, right? If you’re in the market for a donut pan and don’t know where to start, here is the one I have been baking with for the past few years. So in the grand scheme of donuts, they’re on the healthier side. Using a combination of butter and bacon grease for the fat in this recipe allows the bacon flavor to really shine through, without being overwhelming.īonus: these donuts are baked – not fried. If you’ve never baked with bacon grease before, don’t worry! You’re only going to use 1 tablespoon for this recipe, and you’ll have plenty leftover from frying the bacon, so simply scoop a tablespoon out of the pan before discarding it.
For the donut base you’re going to need flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, milk, butter, bacon, and bacon grease. I’m bonkers for bacon and mad for maple, so I’m not sure why it took me so long to dream up the delicious idea of combing the two. This year the menu will consist of our standard spread (sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes, bagels, lox, whitefish, and fruit salad) and one very special dessert: maple bacon donuts! Seriously, doesn’t the combination of maple and bacon just scream BRUNCH? I know my family is going to go nuts over these babies.Īlright so let’s get down to details. ↑ Did I mention I’m the one who cooks said brunch every year? It’s equal parts fun and crazy, but I love every moment of it. Endless eggnog pancakes, mimosas with mom, and an afternoon of goofing off with my brothers… it’s the best. We have a lot of holiday traditions in our family, but by far, my favorite of them all is Christmas Day brunch. I know it’s only October, but can I tell you a little secret? I’m already thinking about the h o l i d a y s. And not just any donuts… maple bacon donuts! The perfect sweet and salty sugar rush to get us through the afternoon. Happy Wednesday! We’re making donuts today.
