In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; make a well in the center.

Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the well; mix until combined.

Pour in the yeast mixture; knead until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough; roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Cut into squares or circles, about 3 inches wide.

Place a small dollop of pâte à tartiner in the center of each piece.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal edges tightly.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the beignets in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
