Erin's Canadian Fried Dough

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 0.25 cups cinnamon sugar , or to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the milk, egg, salt, sugar, butter, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in that order. Start the machine's Dough cycle.

2. 2

   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.)

3. 3

   Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. 4

   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.
