BeaverTails Kingston opens in Market Square

Tori Stafford
Our own Nour Mazloum stopped in to check out BeaverTails new storefront location in downtown Kingston, and got a masterclass in how the famous Canadian pastries are made. Here, Nour is practicing the ‘hand-stretched’ dough technique for creating the classic shape of a beaver tail.

 

BeaverTails Kingston has opened its doors in the Limestone City at 20 Market St. Now you can get your irresistibly delicious, artisanal Canadian pastry in historic downtown Kingston.

Their original recipe is made of hand-stretched whole-wheat pastry and then topped with your favourite toppings. Served piping-hot, and both crispy and chewy at the same time, the quintessential Canuck treat can range from The Classic (with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar) to the more adventurous Hansel & Pretzel (with chocolate-hazelnut spread and pretzels), or the Lemon Mmmeringue (with lemon pie filling and toasted marshmallow fluff).

I had the experience of making my own beavertail – and seeing how quickly everything is made, fresh to order. From hand-stretching the dough to ensuring a golden, crispy fry, I got to create my own masterpiece that was as delicious as I expected.
