Add flour 1 cup at a time until a smooth dough forms. Knead dough, then let it stand (covered with a tea towel) for 1 ½ hours so dough can rise. Form dough into balls about the size of eggs, then roll flat, making ovals about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Heat oil to 350F in deep fryer, pot or electric frying pan. Fry”Beaver Tails” one at a time until light brown on both sides. Place on paper towels to drain, then sprinkle with white sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice while still hot – and ENJOY!
