A bacon donut is a fried dough that incorporates bacon in various ways, often with a maple glaze. It can also be filled with bacon and maple cream or used as a sandwich with other ingredients. Alternative flavors and non-traditional bacon can also be used.
A bacon donut is a fried dough that incorporates bacon in some way. Bacon is often used as a topping for this type of food, but it could be incorporated into the filling or the dough itself. The use of bacon in dessert items is common in several combinations, including chocolate and maple flavors. One of the most common flavor combinations for a bacon donut is maple glaze with bacon strips on top. Different restaurants are famous for bacon donuts, but no specific restaurant can claim to be the true creator of this combination.
In its most general definition, a bacon donut is any fried dough item that looks like a donut that uses bacon. That said, bacon is most commonly found in donuts in only a few flavor combinations. Bacon by itself is rarely the topping used on donuts. Instead, a sweet glaze or filling is typically paired with the meat.
The most common bacon donut is a simple bar or ring donut with maple glaze and strips or pieces of bacon on top. In some variations, real maple syrup is incorporated into the donut in some way. The bacon is typically placed on the donut in such a way that the glaze holds the pieces of meat in place.
An interesting and rare variation on this basic maple bacon donut involves filling a donut with maple cream and bacon. Bacon is often ground into very small pieces before being mixed with cream. This filling is usually made with a different recipe than the glaze, although these donuts can still be glazed.
A bacon donut can also be created from a plain glazed donut and bacon. One popular concoction involves cutting a glazed donut like a bagel in half and then creating a sandwich layered with bacon and other ingredients. Some people put hamburgers and bacon between the buns, but cream and other sweet ingredients can also be used.
Baking bacon into a donut is quite uncommon but could conceive a desirable product. Similarly, alternative donut flavors could be used, such as chocolate. The preference for maple and bacon flavors together is likely a result of the practice of pouring maple syrup over pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
It’s also possible to make a bacon donut with non-traditional bacon. Turkey bacon can be used, as can vegetarian variations. Some donuts of this type cater to special allergies, completely removing gluten or other problematic ingredients. When made at home, you can create bacon donuts that specifically address each diner’s health concerns.
