preparation time: 20 mins cook time: 40 mins ready time: 2 hrs 30 mins


• place the milk, egg, salt, sugar, butter, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in that order. start the machine's dough cycle.
• once the dough cycle has completed, remove the dough from the bread machine to a lightly floured surface. cover with a large mixing bowl, and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. divide the dough into 10 balls, then flatten, and gently stretch into 8x6-inch ovals (a beaver tail shape.)
• heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• cook the dough one or two at a time in the hot oil until lightly browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to serve.
