BeaverTails

Przygotowanie krok po kroku

1. 1
   In the bowl of a stand mixer, add warm water, a big pinch of sugar and yeast. Allow to sit until frothy.
2. 2
   Into the same bowl, add 120 ml sugar, warm milk, melted butter, eggs and salt, and whisk until combined.
3. 3
   Place a dough hook on the mixer, add the flour with the machine on, until a smooth but slightly sticky dough forms.
4. 4
   Place dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to proof for 1 1/2 hours.
5. 5
   Cut dough into 12 pieces, and roll out into long oval-like shapes about 0,6 cm thick that resemble a beaver’s tail.
6. 6
   In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 350 degrees. Gently place beavertail dough into hot oil and cook for 30 to 45 seconds on each side until golden brown.
7. 7
   Drain on paper towels, and garnish as desired. Toss in cinnamon sugar, in white sugar with a squeeze of lemon, or with a generous slathering of Nutella and a handful of toasted almonds. Enjoy!
