Canadian Doughnuts image

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.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside until creamy.
  • 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.
  • Form dough into balls about the size of eggs, then roll flat to make ovals about 1/4 inch thick.
  • 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.

These doughnuts are amazing! I love the fact that they're baked, not fried, so they're a bit healthier than traditional doughnuts.

I've tried many different doughnut recipes, but these are by far the best. They're so light and airy, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
