Method

Make the yeast doughnut dough and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then roughly chop.

In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and maple extract until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
