BeaverTails (A Type of Pastry)
Serves 8
Ingredients
Method
In a large bowl, stir the yeast into the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy.
Beat in the egg, warm milk, sugar, salt, and melted butter.
Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin oval.
Fry the ovals in the hot oil for about 1 minute per side, until golden. Drain on paper towels.
While still warm, sprinkle the BeaverTails with your chosen toppings.
