Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, water, granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Fold into the flour mixture.
With a mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed in a separate bowl. When soft peaks appear, fold the egg whites into the batter.
Line a plate with paper towels.
Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 375° F (190° C). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pot. Fry for 5 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to the prepared plate. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy your beignets!
