Decadent Chocolate-Glazed Bacon Donuts

Today’s Special: Chocolate-Glazed Bacon Donuts

Hello, fellow food lovers! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and indulgent treat that combines sweet, salty, and savory flavors in one mouthwatering bite. These Chocolate-Glazed Bacon Donuts are perfect for a special brunch, dessert, or anytime you want to treat yourself to something truly decadent.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• bacon (cooked and crumbled) – 100g
• all-purpose flour – 250g
• dark chocolate (chopped) – 150g
• buttermilk – 200ml
• sugar – 100g
• baking powder – 1 tbsp
• eggs – 2
• salt – a pinch
• vegetable oil – for frying

To make these delectable donuts, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• donut pan
• frying thermometer

Start by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the cooked and crumbled bacon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Next, heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C) on a frying thermometer. Carefully spoon the batter into a donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full. Fry the donuts in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fried donuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

While the donuts are cooling slightly, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and glossy. Dip each donut into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, then place them on a wire rack to set.

Once the chocolate glaze has set, these Chocolate-Glazed Bacon Donuts are ready to be enjoyed! The combination of crispy bacon, fluffy donut, and rich chocolate is sure to delight your taste buds.

This recipe makes approximately 12 donuts, with each serving weighing around 80g. One serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra crumbled bacon on top of the chocolate glaze before it sets, adding an extra burst of flavor and texture to each bite.

I hope you give these Chocolate-Glazed Bacon Donuts a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the toppings or fillings to make this recipe your own. Happy baking!
