Ingredients:

For the Bars

Optional Add-Ins:

• Maple extract | 1 teaspoon |
• Chopped cooked bacon | ¼ cup |

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • Remove the biscuit dough from the can and separate the individual biscuits.
   • Gently shape each biscuit into a rectangular bar by stretching it out slightly. Set aside.

2. Heat the Oil:

   • In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
   • Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.

3. Fry the Bars:

   • Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil, frying 2-3 bars at a time.
   • Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Use tongs to remove the fried bars from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
   • Repeat with the remaining bars.

4. Make the Maple Glaze:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Gradually add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until the glaze reaches your desired consistency—it should be thick enough to coat the bars but thin enough to drizzle easily.

5. Glaze the Bars:

   • Dip the top of each fried bar into the maple glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
   • Place the glazed bars on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips.
   • For a sweet-savory twist, sprinkle the glazed bars with chopped bacon if desired.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
   • Enjoy these Quick Maple Bars warm with a cup of coffee, tea, or milk.
