Maple Bars

I got this recipe from my dear Aunt! They are delicious and the best homemade donut I've ever had!! Don't trust me? Well, make them for yourself and see!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Milk                                                       

 

  2 tsp. Salt

4 Tbs. Butter                                                           

 

 2 Tbs. White Sugar

1 Tbs. Yeast                                                            

 

  2-3 Cups of Flour

Oil for frying                                                                       

Directions:

1. Scald the milk, salt and butter in a sauce pan. (To scald is to almost bring to a boil on low heat.) When small bubbles start to arise, remove the mixture from the heat.
2. Cool the mixture until it is slightly warm to the touch.
3. Add the sugar and the yeast and let the yeast raise (aka let sit) for about 10 minutes.
4. Move the yeast mixture to a bowl and, using a mixer, add the flour, just enough to make a soft dough. You’ll know you’ve added enough flour once the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl when mixing.
5. Knead in the mixer for 5 minutes then, leave the dough on the counter to rise.
6. Once the dough has doubled in size (about an hour,) roll it out on a lightly floured surface, about ½ in. thick. Let it rest again for about 15 minutes.
7. Cut the dough into 2-3 in. rectangles. Or any shape really!!
8. Deep fry the dough in oil until they puff up and are golden brown on each side. These will fry up very quick!
9. Let the bars cool completely then frost with the following Maple Frosting!
