Maple Bars

Makes 8 bars.

Ingredients:
1 tube of Pillsbury refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Icing:
1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon mapleine or maple extract (found in the spice aisle of the grocery store, near the vanilla extract.
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:
First, get started on your icing.  Melt butter, brown sugar, and milk together in a saucepan over medium high heat, and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, turn heat down to low and stir constantly over heat for 3 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

In a frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium high heat.  Open your biscuit dough, and stretch each one out into the shape of a maple bar.  Be gentle, they will rip if you aren’t.

You will know your oil is ready when you place a test piece of dough into it and it bubbles all around it and floats to the top of the oil.

When that happens, remove the test piece and place a few bars at a time into the oil.

Cook each side until golden brown, no more than a minute or two.  Then flip over and cook the other side, then lay on a paper towel.

Now, finish your icing.  Add powdered sugar, salt, and mapleine to the cooling butter/sugar/milk mixture and mix until smooth.

Dip the top of each cooled maple bar into the icing, and place back on the rack for a couple of minutes.

Then, enjoy!
