🍽️ Makes 8
Ingredients
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | Sugar (for the waffles) |
| 4 tsp | 20 ml | Baking powder |
| 1 1/2 tsp | 7.5 ml | Salt |
| 1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml | Nutmeg |
| 2 | Eggs | |
| 1/4 cup | 60 ml | Unsalted butter, melted |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | Milk |
| 3 cup | 720 ml | Flour |
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | Maple syrup (for the maple glaze) |
| 4 tbsp | 60 ml | Unsalted butter |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | Powdered sugar |
| 4-8 strips | Cooked bacon, crumbled |
Instructions
Yield: 6-8 wonuts. Serving Size: 1 wonut.
- Mix the sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Then add in the eggs, milk, and melted butter and mix.
- Add in the flour and mix until thoroughly combined. The batter will be thick and have a bit of a dough consistency. If it is too dough-like, feel free to add some more milk (tablespoon by tablespoon) until the consistency is easier to work with.
- On your waffle maker, add about a 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes and set aside on a plate or wire rack to cool down.
- To make the glaze, heat the maple syrup and unsalted butter on the stove on low heat. Stir until the butter has completely melted.
- Once the butter has completely melted, remove the glaze from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar. Taste the glaze to see if it is to your liking and adjust accordingly.
- Let the glaze cool down and harden a little bit (a solid layer will begin to form at the top of the saucepan) and pour over the waffles. You can also pour the glaze into a wide, shallow pan and dip the donuts.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon bits on top of the waffles immediately.
