Ingredients
Scale
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits, like Pillsbury Grands)
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons milk (add more if needed)
2 teaspoons maple extract
Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings: Chopped pecans or walnuts, a drizzle of chocolate
Instructions
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Open the biscuit can, separate the biscuits, flatten them slightly, and stretch into rectangular bar shapes for your maple bars.
Fry 2–3 bars at a time, for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on a cooling rack.
Whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, maple extract, milk, and salt until smooth to make your maple bar frosting.
Spread frosting on slightly cooled donuts and add any optional toppings.
Enjoy your warm homemade maple bars immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches.
Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F.
Flatten biscuits well before frying for the proper maple bar shape.
Cool donuts slightly before frosting so the icing doesn’t melt off.
For a stronger flavor, use maple extract instead of syrup in your maple bar glaze.
