Combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar in a bowl.

Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy.

Add all-purpose flour, melted butter, salt, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture.

Mix all ingredients until well combined.

Flour a surface and knead the dough briefly, noting that gluten-free dough does not require proofing.

Cut the dough into six pieces and shape each into a flat oval resembling a beaver tail.

Preheat oil in a deep fryer to between 350°F and 375°F.

Deep fry the dough pieces until golden brown, flipping to ensure even cooking.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Brush some beaver tails with garlic and olive oil, and others can be topped with cinnamon and sugar or chocolate sauce.
