To round off Canada week, we donned our Canadian tuxedos (aka a lot of denim) and made beaver tails! Essentially these are deep-fried flat doughnuts covered in cinnamon sugar. If that doesn’t sell you on beaver tails we don’t know what will!
We used a recipe from the Food Network which worked brilliantly. We started with making a yeasted dough, then shaped it into ovals to make them look a little like beaver tails.
We then used a knife to create imprints to create a beaver tail pattern.
Once the shape and pattern were ready, it was time for our improvised deep fat fryer (large pot with a lot of hot sunflower oil) to make them the best doughnuts possible.
We then covered them in cinnamon sugar and served them hot with a little maple syrup. These would work with any sweet toppings you may fancy, such as chocolate or fruit, so get creative! We’d love to see your creations.
