Bourbon Maple Doughnut Glaze Recipes

NEELY'S MAPLE GLAZED DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a large Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Whisk eggs, yolk, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, melted butter and almond extract together in another large bowl until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and thoroughly mix together using a wooden spoon. The dough will be very sticky.
• Dust your countertop and hands with flour. Using your hands pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip a 3-inch round cutter in flour and cut out donuts. Cut out center of donuts with 3/4-inch cutter. Gather scraps and re-roll. Continue cutting out donuts.
• Fry donuts, in hot oil, until golden brown and crisp, approximately 1 minute per side. Drain on wire rack over sheet tray to cool.
• Once cool, dust with cinnamon sugar, if desired, or dip tops of the donuts into the Maple Syrup Glaze. Also, a butter knife can be used to spread on the glaze.
• In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, maple extract and milk; stir well. Add additional milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over donuts.

BROWN BUTTER AND BOURBON MAPLE-GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup doughnut pan with nonstick spray.
• Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer the brown butter to a measuring cup and set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth; then whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla until combined. Add the flour mixture and half of the brown butter (1/4 cup) to the egg mixture; mix until just combined -- DO NOT OVERMIX.
• Transfer the batter to a pastry bag and fill the doughnut pan about three-quarters full. Bake the doughnuts until light golden brown and just baked through, about 8 minutes; (They will be darker on the bottom, where the batter cooks against the pan, than on the top.) Set the pan on a baking rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pan and place them directly on the baking rack. Set the rack over some parchment or foil before glazing.
• For the glaze: Bring the maple syrup and the remaining half of the brown butter (1/4 cup) to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the bourbon, cook for 1 minute, and then remove from the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth and slightly thick. Transfer the glaze to a shallow medium bowl and leave to thicken slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts, sprinkle the pecans on top, and serve.

POT ROAST WITH BOURBON MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Marinate the roast in the red wine overnight in the refrigerator. Remove meat from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot. Brown meat on all sides and remove. Add the remaining olive oil, celery, carrots and onions and cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Deglaze with bourbon (stand back, the bourbon may ignite momentarily). Add the beef stock, roast and maple syrup. The liquid should just about cover the meat and vegetables. Lower the heat to a simmer; cover pot and cook 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning meat occasionally so that it will cook evenly. If it still seems a bit liquidy after 2 1/2 hours, tip the lid off a bit to allow steam to escape and the sauce to thicken.
• When meat is fork tender, remove from pot. Add peas and corn. Cook for another 10-15 minutes. Slice meat into thick 1/2" slices. Mound mashed potatoes on center of plate. Top with meat slices and pour sauce over everything.

MAPLE APPLE BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine apple juice, maple syrup, bourbon, brown sugar, liquid amino acid, Dijon mustard, and granulated garlic in a saucepan using a whisk over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze thickens and is reduced by about 1/3, about 12 minutes. Let glaze cool.
