Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into small balls or rings.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
