Prepare the syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the dough
In a separate saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Add the eggs
Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Heat the oil
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Pipe the tulumba
Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Pipe 2-inch lengths of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough from the nozzle.
Fry the tulumba
Fry the tulumba in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the tulumba from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Soak the tulumba in syrup
While the tulumba are still hot, dip them in the cooled syrup, turning to coat evenly. Remove the tulumba from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to drain excess syrup.
Serve and enjoy
Serve the tulumba at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Balkan fried dough dessert!
