The Starving Chef
If you have a donut tin you don’t know how else to use, why not pour in some pancake batter and make pancake donuts for breakfast instead.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook the bacon in a skillet over high heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess grease. Reserve about 3-4 tablespoons of grease from the skillet.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and whisk in the egg, milk, and reserved bacon grease. Stir until the batter is smooth. If it is too thick, add more milk. If it is too thin, add more flour. The batter should run off the spoon easily.
  • Grease a donut tin with cooking spray. Use a spoon or measuring cup with a pour lip to fill the spaces in the donut tin with the batter – fill each space about half way or a little less. The pancake donuts will expand as they cook. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the pancake donuts are golden brown.
  • While the donuts bake, whisk together the maple syrup and ½ cup of powdered sugar at a time. You want a runny glaze – you may not need all of the powdered sugar.
  • When the pancakes have finished cooking, let them cool until they can be comfortably handled. Dip the top of each donut in the maple glaze. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it across the tops of the donuts. Serve warm. Enjoy.
