Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips or shapes using a knife or pastry cutter.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

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

Remove the chiacchiere and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
