# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
750 ml all-purpose flour
02 -
5 ml salt
03 -
1 egg
04 -
75 ml vegetable oil
05 -
16 g yeast (2 tbsp)
06 -
2.5 ml ground cinnamon
07 -
60 ml sugar
08 -
125 ml lukewarm water
→ Topping
09 -
5 ml ground cinnamon
10 -
125 ml sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir the sugar and cinnamon together. In a large bowl, pour in lukewarm water and add the sugar mixture and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
02 -
Combine the oil, egg, and salt in a cup. Pour this into the yeast mixture you prepared earlier.
03 -
Start by adding half of the flour to the wet mix and stir for 5-6 minutes. Keep adding flour until the dough pulls away cleanly from the bowl.
04 -
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Allow it to rise until it's twice as big in a warm spot.
05 -
Roll the dough into beaver tail shapes. Make three slits in the center and heat oil to 175 °C. Fry both sides until golden brown.
06 -
Blend the cinnamon and sugar for the topping together.
07 -
Coat the warm pastries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve them hot, maybe with some homemade caramel on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the dough rise in a warm spot helps speed up the fermentation process.
