Homemade Beaver Tails (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
¾ cup all-purpose flour
02 -
½ tsp salt
03 -
1 large egg
04 -
2 cups flour
05 -
1 tbsp sugar
06 -
2 tbsp yeast (16 g)
07 -
5 tbsp vegetable oil
08 -
½ cup warm water
→ Topping
09 -
2 tsp ground cinnamon
10 -
½ cup sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Use a separate large bowl to mix the yeast into the warm water. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
02 -
In another bowl, stir together the salt, oil, and egg. Pour this mixture into the yeast blend.
03 -
Slowly fold half the flour into the wet mixture, stirring for 5-6 minutes. Gradually add the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
04 -
Move the dough to an oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it somewhere warm so it doubles in size.
05 -
Roll the dough into oval shapes. Cut three slits down the middle of each, then fry in oil heated to 350°F. Cook both sides until golden brown.
06 -
Stir together the topping ingredients.
07 -
Dip each fried piece into the cinnamon sugar mix while warm. Enjoy them hot, paired with homemade caramel if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the dough rise in a warm spot will speed up fermentation.
