In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

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

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

Remove beignets from oil and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
