Canadian Donuts (aka Beaver Tails) Invade Hatchery

Beaver tails are to Canada what TFBoys are to China – very popular within their home country, practically unknown outside of it. Besides a certain kind of highly marketable sweetness, that’s where the similarities between the dessert and the boy band end. 

Beaver tails more closely resemble, well, beavers’ tails – they’re wide and flat. The donuts are sold across Canada with a variety of toppings – everything from M&Ms and peanut butter to maple cream – but Beijing’s first beav is a plainer ordeal, all fried dough and sprinkled sugar. 

You can chase these tails at Hatchery’s weekend brunch.
