Maple Bacon Doughnuts

May 03, 2011 09:13

I made a variety of filled doughnuts last weekend. I’m still tweaking my super secret version - and will share it soon, along with a great little trick for using yeast dough scraps - but this flavor combination had me intrigued as soon as I stumbled upon it. Maple Bacon Doughnuts ( Read more... )

Your post, and your innovative doughnut= absolutely win. And this compliment is coming from someone whose (childlike) palate doesn't interface meat+sweetness very well. But I wish I could buy a box of those beauties for my beloved.

Aw, thank you :)

They look yummy, even though I currently have no appetite due to being sick. I'd like to make this in the future. And when I want a doughnut, I'm a yeast girl. Never really cared for cake doughnuts.

Foodgawker is one of my most favorite feeds.

Cake doughnut all the way. There's this little doughnut shop that has been owned by the same Vietnamese family for decades (ironically called The Great American Donut Shop - or GADS for short) and their cake doughnuts are out of this world.

I found a recipe for 55 calorie cake doughnuts that I'm going to try because I'm watching what I'm eating, and if I were to make yours, they wouldn't last a day and I'd be left with an empty plate and shame.

Ooh, I want to try GADS! I hear that the reason I'm not big on cake doughnuts might be because I've only had Dunkin. Must diversify :)

Yes, these are definitely not low-cal, unfortunately! :)

It's rated #1 for my area on UrbanSpoon :) And they have all kinds, but the old college remedy for a hangover was a trip to GADS, two cake doughnuts and a dozen glazed doughnut holes....Probably why I have to watch what I eat now!

But they look oh-so-good. Well done.
