So... i made a half recipe. A) not so good... B) they didn't rise.

...i mean they were tasty when i put cinnamon sugar and lemon juice on, but ya... baking issues, i was confused with the instructions. I encourage you to try them and post your review.!

These were DELICIOUS! Ive never had the "real" Beaver tails so I cant compare them to the real deal, but these were soo good!!

These were tasty but not quite as authentic as I had hoped. I guess I'm more used to flakier beaver tails while this was more soft and fluffy. I also had some issues making the dough. At the beginning, it was more like pancake batter than a dough! I had to add a LOT more flour to get it anywhere near a dough consistency, so I'm not sure what happened in the process. It was quite a messy journey, lol, but it was still tasty in the end. I think I'd roll them out really really thin next time because they were HUGE after baking and not quite what I wanted. I definitely liked that it was baked and not deep fried in a ton of oil. My family enjoyed them too. Thanks :)
