Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture, then combine with dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-10 minutes, then cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut the dough into squares or circles using a knife or cutter.

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

Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.
