Preparation mode:

👉 BeaverTails are a famous Canadian treat: hand-stretched fried dough shaped like a beaver’s tail and topped with cinnamon sugar, lemon or chocolate spread. Here is how to make them at home.

🍳 How to Make BeaverTails

1. Activate the yeast. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, a big pinch of sugar and the yeast. Leave until frothy

2. Mix. Add ½ cup sugar, warm milk, melted butter, eggs and salt and whisk to combine

3. Knead. Fit the dough hook and add the flour with the mixer running until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms

4. Rise. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 1½ hours

5. Shape. Divide into 12 pieces and roll each into a long oval about ¼ inch thick

6. Fry. Heat oil in a large, deep pot to 350°F. Fry each piece for 30–45 seconds per side until golden. Drain on paper towels

7. Top. Toss in cinnamon sugar, or sprinkle with sugar and a squeeze of lemon, or spread with Nutella and toasted almonds

💡 Tips for the Best BeaverTails

• Use a thermometer to keep the oil at 350°F.
• Stretch the dough thin so it puffs and crisps.
• Top them while still warm so the sugar sticks.
• Fry only one or two at a time.
