**Instructions:**

1. Begin by combining the warm water and yeast in a large bowl, whisking until it becomes frothy and alive.
2. Incorporate the salt, 1 1/2 cups of flour, and sugar into the yeast mixture, creating a flavorful base.
3. In a separate small bowl, melt the butter with the heavy cream, then whisk in the pure vanilla extract, egg, and egg white for richness.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture transforms into a sticky, enticing dough.
5. Gradually add the remaining flour, kneading the dough until it achieves a perfectly elastic texture – it should feel just right under your hands.
6. Grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it up. Let it rise for 1 1/2 hours, until it has doubled in size, filling your kitchen with the promise of deliciousness.
7. Once the dough has risen, preheat your deep fryer to a tantalizing 350°F.
8. Roll the dough onto a floured surface, shaping it into a thick oval, and then cut it into medium to large squares that are ready for frying.
9. Carefully place the squares into the fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd, and gently lower them into the hot oil.
10. Fry until they puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown, then, with care, remove them and let them drain on paper towels.
