I've been a Canadian all my life, but have never had a beaver tail before. Having heard all about them from Ottawa/Quebec friends I decided to try this - and they are quite honestly the most delicious things I've ever tasted! Thank you!

I haven't made these yet myself but my Hungarian mother used to make these when I was growing up. We did not eat them with sweet toppings (never occurred to us), we would salt them - insanely delicious! We found a quick shortcut - buy frozen bread dough, thaw it out and then knead, rip, roll out and pull into the desired shape. Then follow the frying directions.

My daughter was home from Toronto this weekend and was desperate for a Beaver Tail but I was not so keen to drive into Ottawa. Anyhow, we made them from this recipe and they were fantastic (even though I was out of eggs). We will definately be making them again. I froze some dough so it will be interesting to see how that reacts when thawed. Thanks for sharing.

They truly take like the real deal and I grew up on the original. Just don't forget to brush on melted butter first after frying and before dipping into sugar and cinnamon. That's how we do it in Ottawa :)

I made these for my son's class "Immigrant Feast" this week. The kids gobbled them up as fast as I could make them. I didn't have whole wheat flour, but regular white flour seemed to work just fine. Thanks for a great recipe!

These are terrific the day you make them, but like some homemade donuts, you have to eat them the day they're made. I would have liked to have seen a more thorough recommednation on the size of these.

I made these for a project my son did on Canada. I don't know what they were supposed to look like or taste like because I have never had the "real" thing. I thought this recipe was easy and tasty...I probably will make again in the future!
