Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, whisk egg and yogurt together until smooth.

Add rakija (or rum) and citrus zest to the egg mixture and mix well.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Spoon batter into the hot oil, forming fritters.

Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fritters and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
