Add 1/2 cup of warm water, 1 tsp of sugar, and 4 tsp of dry yeast into a large bowl and mix.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Microwave 1/3 cup of milk for 30 seconds.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, the warm milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix everything carefully.

Gradually add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, starting with 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition until combined.

Knead the dough with clean hands until smooth.

Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it sit for 2 hours to rise.

After the dough has risen, place some flour on the work surface and transfer the dough onto it.

Divide the dough into medium pieces to make 10 beaver tails.

Roll out each piece of dough using a rolling pin or your hands.

Add vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat it up.

To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it bubbles and turns golden, the oil is ready.

Fry the beaver tails in the hot oil, turning them over when they are golden brown.

After frying, place the beaver tails in a mixture of white sugar and cinnamon to coat them.
