In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

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

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

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into diamond shapes with a knife.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it's shimmering.

Fry the dough pieces in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Remove the fried pieces from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Serve the boortsog warm.
