Ingredients

Check items as you go.

• Donut bar
• 1 can biscuit dough
• 2 cups canola oil (for frying)
• Maple glaze
• ¼ cup butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp corn syrup
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tsps maple extract

Method

1. Start by pouring 2 cups of canola oil into a medium sized saucepan and begin heating on medium-low heat

2. Open the biscuit dough and separate. Gently stretch the biscuits into an oblong shape

3. In a small saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Whisk in milk and heat for about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring often, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved

4. Remove from heat and add corn syrup and maple extract. Add in powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, whisking until smooth between additions

5. Glaze will begin to harden if you leave it sitting-which is what you want! Once all powdered sugar is added, keep maple glaze warm on stove, whisking occasionally. Add 1-2 tsp more milk if necessary

6. Check the temperature of the oil using a meat thermometer- it needs to read 350 degrees. Increase heat gradually if necessary

7. Once the oil is ready drop in 2 at a time. Let cook approx 2 minutes, then turn and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Bars should be a nice golden brown

8. Let bars cool for a few minutes, then whisk the glaze to make it smooth enough to dip each bar. Dip the bar, then immediately turn glaze side up on a cooling rack

9. Repeat this process until all bars are fried and glazed
