surface, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thick. Cut with floured doughnut
cutter. Place on lightly floured board, cover and let rise about 1 hour
or until very light. In the meantime make
the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, and enough maple syrup to make a
thick paste in a mixing bowl. Mix well and add just enough cream until
glaze is the consistency you desire. Add bourbon to taste. Fry dough in preheated 375°F (190°C) oil, a few at a time, about 2 minutes, each side. Drain on paper towel. Dip one side of each doughnut into the glaze and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle a little bacon on each doughnut.
