Quick Maple Bars

Cook’s Notes and Tips

  • Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at a consistent temperature to ensure even cooking. If the oil is too hot, the bars may brown too quickly on the outside without cooking through.
  • Dough Choice: Crescent roll dough gives a flakier texture, while biscuit dough results in a more traditional doughnut texture. Choose whichever you prefer.
  • Maple Syrup: For the best flavor, use pure maple syrup instead of artificial maple-flavored syrup.

Variations

  • Cinnamon Sugar Bars: Instead of glazing, coat the bars in a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar immediately after frying.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the maple glaze for a decadent touch.
  • Nut Topping: Sprinkle chopped toasted pecans or walnuts over the glaze for added crunch and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Breakfast Treat: Serve these bars with a cup of hot coffee for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.
  • Dessert: Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple yet indulgent dessert.
  • Party Snacks: Arrange on a platter for an easy party snack that guests will love.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I Make These Bars Ahead of Time?

These bars are best enjoyed fresh, but you can make them a few hours in advance. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container until ready to serve.

How Do I Store Leftovers?

Store leftover maple bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to refresh them.

Can I Bake Instead of Fry?

Yes, you can bake the dough at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. However, frying gives the bars a more authentic, doughnut-like texture.
