Method

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and add the eggs, milk, vanilla, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture.
Mix the ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
After rising, let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Heat an Æbleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease the wells.
Pour the batter into the wells, filling about 2/3 full.
Cook until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side.
Serve warm with cinnamon sugar dusted on top.
