Maple Bars

2 cups warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 Tbsp salt
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup powdered milk
1 Tblsp yeast
2 eggs
4 cups flour

Mix well until blended.  Add 3/4 - 1 1/2 cups more flour.  Mix for 5-10 more minutes.  Let dough rest for 10 minutes.  Roll out, cut into bars (i use a pizza cutter to cut), poke each bar with a fork 3 times.  Let raise 10 minutes.  Cook poked side down first in oil 375 deg.  Frost with maple flavored frosting.  Makes about 40-50 2" x 3" bars.

Maple Frosting
1/2 cup butter (no substitutions)
2 cups powdered sugar (I usually end up using more than this)
2 tsp maple flavoring
2 tbsp hot water

In a small saucepan, heat butter over low heat until golden brown.  Remove from the heat; blend in the powdered sugar, maple flavoring and enough water to achieve desired consistency.
