FAMOUS Beaver Tail Pastries

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or cooking fats)
2 1/3 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons white sugar
5 - 8 cups flour (1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 all-pupose)
fresh lemon juice
white sugar and ground cinnamon

Directions:

1 Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside
until creamy.

2 In a large bowl, mix together oil, 2-1/3 cups water, salt, and 4
tablespoons sugar. Add yeast, and gradually mix in flour. Place dough in a
buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp tea towel, and place in
a warm place to rise for 1-1/2 hours.

3 Form dough into balls about the size of eggs, then roll flat to make
ovals about 1/4 inch thick.

4 Heat a few  cups of corn, peanut or soy oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep fryer,
pot, or electric frying pan. Fry doughnuts one at a time, until light brown
on both sides. Place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with white sugar,
cinnamon, and lemon juice while still hot. NOTE: In times of deep poverty,
save chicken fat, all fats, clarity when you have a quart, heat, clarify, strain and use
this for frying white flour. Hey, that and green grass, you'll live! A short time. In
times of wealth, pour mix of whiskey and maple syrup over each fried cruller. (That
is the famous Canadian "beavertail cocktail" by the way.
