If you ever visited Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the winter months on the Rideau Canal, which is the longest skating rink in the world, they serve 'Beaver Tails,' a sweet pastry that is essentially a flat doughnut with sugar on top. I could not get the authentic recipe since it is their trade secret, but I created a replica of what they serve. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon white sugar |
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
1 tablespoon active dry yeast |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
2 1/3 cups warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons white sugar |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
4 cups whole wheat flour |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside until creamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, 2-1/3 cups water, salt, and 4 tablespoons sugar. Add yeast, and gradually mix in flour. Place dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp tea towel, and place in a warm place to rise for 1-1/2 hours.
3. Form dough into balls about the size of eggs, then roll flat to make ovals about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep fryer, pot, or electric frying pan. Fry doughnuts one at a time, until light brown on both sides. Place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with white sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice while still hot.
