 Categories: Doughnuts, Pastries
      Yield: 30 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------PASTRY--------------------------------
      2 tb Yeast
      2 ts Salt
      2 c  Water; warm, (110 F)
      1    Egg
    1/2 c  Sugar
  6 1/2 c  Flour; up to 7 c
    1/4 c  Shortening

MMMMM----------------------MAPLINE FROSTING---------------------------
      1 lb Powdered sugar
    1/2 c  Milk
      4 ts Mapline flavor; (maple
           -extract)
      1 pn Salt

  Dissolve the yeast in a with warm water. Add the sugar, salt, and 1/2
  the flour. Beat 2 minutes with mixer. Add egg and shortening.

  Stir in half of remaining flour with a wooden spoon and mix well.
  When the mixture has formed a ball and breaks away from the sides of
  the bowl, roll it out on a floured board and dust lightly with flour.
  Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, approximately 10 minutes.

  Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover
  the bowl and set it in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled
  in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours.

  Punch down dough with the fist and knead gently about 3 minutes. Roll
  out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 15x9-inch rectangle
  about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into pieces about 1 1/2 inches wide and 3
  inches long. Transfer to another board or cookie sheet to rise in a
  warm place until almost double.

  Deep fry several at a time in a heavy pan with 4 inches of oil heated
  to 375 F, turning to brown each side. Drain on absorbent paper, and
  frost with mapline frosting.

  Mix frosting ingredients together and spread on maple bars.
