BeaverTail pastry
BeaverTail pastry is a popular Canadian dessert that is deep-fried dough stretched to resemble the shape of a beaver’s tail. It is typically topped with various sweet toppings such as cinnamon sugar, chocolate, fruit, or icing sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
Toppings of your choice:
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Add the salt and flour to the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a flat oval shape, resembling a beaver tail.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully place one dough oval into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed up. Repeat with the remaining dough ovals.
- Drain the fried pastries on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- While the pastries are still warm, sprinkle your favorite toppings over the top, such as cinnamon sugar, Nutella, jam, or any other sweet treats you like.
- Serve the BeaverTail pastries warm and enjoy!
