Canadian Doughnuts

Description

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
  • ½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ⅓ 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

Servings: 36
