Add the yeast mixture and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; mix until a smooth dough forms.

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

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until hot.

Scoop small portions of dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
