Before you start, watch the short Canadian Sourdough Beavertails video tutorial.

In a medium bowl, mix all 10 dough mixture ingredients until well combined. Cover your bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Note: You can let the dough rest for up to 2 hours if your kitchen is cooler.

Get a 5-quart Dutch oven-ready and fill it with 1 inch of oil. Attach the candy thermometer to the inside of your pot with the bottom tip in the oil. Heat your Dutch oven and oil on the stovetop on medium heat until it reaches 360°-375° F.

Place a sheet of unbleached parchment paper on your kitchen counter. Roughly divide your dough right in the bowl into 6 (or 12 for mini beavertails). You can dust the parchment paper with a little brown rice flour to prevent sticking if you choose to flatten and shape your dough on the counter. Or you can also gently roll one portion of dough with your hands to then shape it in a flatter ovalish shape. If it’s helpful, you can also use a spatula to gently lift the dough from the paper. Shape your dough in whichever method is the easiest for you. Of course, the smaller beavertails are easier to shape and drop in the hot oil. Shaping one at a time is recommended, while another one is frying.

Once your oil reaches 360°- 375° F you can start frying. Carefully drop one flat piece of dough into the oil. You’ll want to fry each side for a few minutes. On average mine fried for a total of 3 to 4 minutes. Larger ones could take 5 minutes if you like crispier donuts. Once ready use a slotted spoon to lift the donut from the oil. Let the excess oil drip in the pot. Carefully transfer it to a wire rack while you fry the remaining beavertails.

Have fun decorating your beavertails with your choice of sweet toppings! Enjoy them while they are fresh!
