      Title: Beavertails (Queues De Castor)
 Categories: Breads, Snacks
      Yield: 20 servings
 
    1/2 c  Warm water (110ºF/43ºC)
      5 ts Active dry yeast
        pn White sugar
      1 c  Warm milk (110ºF/43ºC)
    1/3 c  White sugar
  1 1/2 ts Salt
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      3 lg Eggs; beaten
    1/3 c  Oil
      5 c  Whole-wheat flour; divided
      1 qt Oil; for frying
      2 c  White sugar
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon; to taste
 
  Mix warm water, yeast, and 1 pinch of sugar in a large
  bowl, and let stand until the yeast begins to foam and
  form a creamy layer, about 5 minutes. Stir in milk, 1/3
  cup sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and 1/3 cup
  vegetable oil until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in
  about half the whole-wheat flour, and stir until the
  dough is too stiff to add more flour. Turn the dough out
  onto a floured surface, and knead in more flour until
  the dough is no longer sticky. Knead until smooth and
  elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball,
  place into an oiled bowl, and cover. Let rise until the
  dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  
  Punch down the dough, knead a few times to reshape it,
  and pinch off a piece of dough about the size of an egg.
  Roll the dough ball out into an oval shape about 1/4
  inch thick. Place finished fried dough on a cloth and
  cover while you finish rolling out the pastries.
  
  Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to
  375ºF/190ºC. Oil should be at least 4" deep. Combine 2
  cups of sugar with cinnamon to taste in a shallow dish
  or pie plate, and set aside.
  
  Gently lower the pastries, one at a time, into the hot
  oil, and fry 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  Blot excess oil from fried pastries with paper towels;
  gently press each pastry into the cinnamon sugar while
  still warm. Shake off excess sugar.
  
  COOK'S NOTES: A good trick to help the dough along is to
  place a hot tea towel on the top of the bowl while
  rising.
  
  TIPS: Don't forget to try a little lemon, or try
  spreading some garlic butter and shredded sharp cheese
  on top -- or if you can find it, get some maple spread
  and spread it on and then drizzle chocolate over the
  top!
