- 1/4 cup butter

Instructions
Pancake Donuts
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare donut pan by spraying each donut ring generously with non stick spray, set aside. Measure pancake mix and sugar into a medium bowl and whisk to remove any lumps. In a separate bowl combine milk and egg, whisk together and add to dry ingredients. Stir ingredients together and at the end, add melted butter and stir. Fill donut pan by either spooning mixture into rings or filling a Ziploc bag and piping the mixture. Bake for 10-13 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for a minute and then turn donuts out of pan.
Maple Glaze
- While the pancake mix donuts are baking, combine the butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining glaze ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Dip baked donut tops into the glaze, set onto wax or parchment paper and sprinkle with bacon slices to set up.
- These pancake mix maple bacon donuts are best served immediately. Store leftovers in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
