MAPLE BEAVER TAILS
Maple Beaver Tails are crispy, fried pastries shaped like a beaver’s tail and coated in cinnamon sugar, then drizzled with rich maple syrup. A true Canadian classic, they’re golden, sweet, and irresistibly fun to eat!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg
- Oil for frying
- ½ cup granulated sugar for coating
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
Make the Dough:
- In a bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, butter, and egg. Mix until smooth and elastic. Let rise for 1 hour.
Shape:
- Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each into an oval, about ¼ inch thick, to resemble a beaver’s tail.
Fry:
- Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry each tail for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Coat and Drizzle:
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Coat warm tails in cinnamon sugar, then drizzle with maple syrup.
