3113. VANILLA CHAI MAPLE BACON CRULLERS with STICKY SYRUP GLAZE

Donuts
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 tablespoons room temp butter
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chai tea masala
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Topping
6 pieces bacon, cooked and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting

Heat oven to 350 and grease your pan. In a bowl, sift together all of the dry ingredients. In another bowl, cream your butter and sugar together. Add in an egg and beat until just incorporated. Repeat with next egg, then add vanilla. Add half of the flour mix into the egg bowl and stir. Add the buttermilk and stir. Add the remaining flour and stir until incorporated. Again, do not over-mix. Evenly spread the batter in the crullers pan, and bake for maybe 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cook for a couple of minutes and then take them out. Make the glaze by melting the butter and syrup in a pan over medium until it comes to a boil. Stir in the sugar and then pour over the donuts. Add the bacon pieces on top.
