Beaver Tails is a Canadian delightful dessert that stems from its origins in Ottawa. This old European family recipe was made into a mouth-watering treat shaped into a beaver's tail served fresh and hot. I look forward to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) in Toronto to experience this decadent pastry only once a year. I recently found a stand in Niagara Falls, Clifton Hills and I couldn't resist to indulge in two orders of Beaver tails, the Avalanche and Apple Cinnamon flavours. This whole-wheat pastry is also known to be topped off with butter and your choice of flavours including cinnamon sugar, chocolate banana and apple cinnamon & caramel.
I remember my first time eating Beaver Tails was when I was 16 skiing on the slopes of Glen Eden in Mississauga. They had a stand at the bottom of the bunny hill and my high school friends and I kept going back for more. It would be years again before I would see this treat on a trip to Ottawa. The line up was endless on a cold winter day. Now, what used to be a treasure hunt has become a local delight I get to experience once a year at the CNE, or whenever the chance comes to travel into Niagara x) Cheeky dessert indeed!
