Mix together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt sugar and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture. Stir to mix well. Heat oil to 370 degrees (be sure it is hot or the cakes will absorb to much oil). Pour batter from a small pitcher, making loops and crossing over batter. Fry up to minutes - turn and brown well. Drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes about ten cakes.
