In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a soft, sticky dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into strips about 6 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the dough sticks into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried dough sticks onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried dough sticks warm. Optionally, you can dust them with powdered sugar or serve with honey or jam on the side.
