Canadian Fried Dough: Beaver Tails recipe for a Canadian classic, fried donut like pastries with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.
Happy Canada Day! What better way to celebrate than with a beaver tails recipe. Beaver Tails are a Canadian classic! They are a favourite around here, so we thought we’d give our own version of Canadian Fried Dough a try -and they were a big hit!
The dough for these donut-like pastries is traditionally made from whole wheat flour, and adds a delicious flavour to them. I’m not too used to cooking with yeast, but I followed the recipe closely and had great results, so don’t be intimidated if you’re not used to cooking with yeast either.
The dough rises, to a lovely soft, and smooth consistency. Then the dough is formed into the beaver tail, or canoe paddle shape.
After frying, there are all different ways to top these off, but we kept to the traditional cinnamon sugar, and they were so, so yummy!
