Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated pre-made pizza dough
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional toppings: Nutella, caramel sauce, chocolate chips, or fruit preserves
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into oval shapes resembling beaver tails.
- Fry the BeaverTails:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and puffed up. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Coat with Butter and Sugar:
- While the BeaverTails are still warm, brush them generously with melted butter. In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Coat each BeaverTail in the sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the BeaverTails warm with your choice of toppings such as Nutella, caramel sauce, chocolate chips, or fruit preserves. Enjoy this delightful Canadian treat!
Optional Cook’s Note:
You can also try topping your BeaverTails with maple syrup for a classic Canadian twist!
