Delicious BeaverTails Recipe - Authentic Canadian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 3 cup warm water (110°F (43°C))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • oil for frying (such as vegetable oil)
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 cup chocolate spread (for topping)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  2. Let the Dough Rise

    Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    You can preheat the oven slightly and turn it off to create a warm environment.
  3. Shape the BeaverTails

    Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

    Make sure the ovals are slightly uneven for a rustic look.
  4. Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

    Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
  5. Fry the BeaverTails

    Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
  6. Drain and Serve

    Remove the BeaverTails from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and add toppings as desired.

    Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
