Delicious BeaverTails Recipe - Authentic Canadian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
  • 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

    Ensure that the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    Add warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.

    Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let the Dough Rise

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

    A warm oven (turned off) can be a good place for rising.
  4. Shape the BeaverTails

    Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a flat oval.

    Use your hands or a rolling pin to achieve the desired shape.
  5. Fry the BeaverTails

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry each tail until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

    Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature.
  6. Add Toppings

    Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Coat with cinnamon sugar while still warm.

    Feel free to add toppings like chocolate or fruit as desired.
