Fried dough
According to Bill Castleman , a writer of books on Canadian word origins , the name referred to quick-baked dough "especially in early 19th-century places where people might camp for one night and where there was no frying pan . " In 1978 , Pam and Grant Hooker of Ottawa , Ontario , founded the BeaverTails chain of restaurants specializing in the sale of fried dough pastries which are hand stretched to the shape of a beaver's tail .
