Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk.
Add the corn, sugar, eggs, butter, salt, vanilla and 4-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine confectioners' sugar and bacon. Process until combined; set aside.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry squares, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels. Dust with bacon-sugar mixture.
