A BeaverTail is a hand-stretched, tail-shaped fried dough pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar or piled with toppings, a Canadian winter treat sold at markets.
The BeaverTail was trademarked in Ottawa in 1978 but the fried whole-wheat dough draws on older settler recipes. It became a cold-weather ritual across Quebec and Canada, eaten hot off outdoor stands during winter festivals, most famously topped with cinnamon sugar and lemon. In Montreal you find them at winter festivals, the Old Port and market stands, fried to order and eaten hot with cinnamon sugar as fingers go numb in the cold.
