Living in Canada you know a thing or two about funnel cakes (A.K.A Beaver Tails) 😉 The pastry you find at festivals and events in areas that usually have some outdoor activity happening in the middle of winter. They are slabs of fried pastry dough either covered in cinnamon sugar or Nutella and bananas, or some other concoction of chocolate heaven. Anyway, this is the 15-minute, simplified, slightly healthier (they’re baked!) version of those made into FRIES you can dip! I suggest melted Nutella, Dulce de Leche, an icing dip or even hot fudge. So much fun to make with the kids, and to eat! Enjoy!
