Baked Maple Doughnut Bars

These are really, really good! I love them, and they smell fantastic! And they're baked, so they're good for you right?

1-1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup shortening
4 TBS sugar
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup lukewarm water
5 tsp yeast
2 lg eggs
5 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
In sauce pan, scald the milk, add the shortening, sugar and salt.  Stir, remove from heat then set aside.
In another bowl, combine the water and yeast, let sit for 5 minutes. Add the eggs then the milk mixture. Mix then add the remaining ingredients. Knead for 5 minutes (I used my standing mixer). Grease another bowl (or pull the dough from the bowl, grease that bowl then place the dough back into the bowl). Let rise 1 hour (we have no heat and I was impatient so I let mine rise 15 minutes-and they were still fantastic!).
Punch the dough down, I rolled mine out on a greased cookie sheet, cut down the center, then cut into 12 bars, let sit 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425. Bake 7-10 minutes, until lightly brown. As the bars cool a little, make the icing (below).

Icing:
1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1-1/2 cups powder sugar (you may need more)
2 tsp mapleine (or you can use real maple syrup)
1/8 tsp salt
In sauce pan, bring the butter, brown sugar and milk to a simmer and let simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients.
