Add flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and cinnamon, if using, to a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to a small bowl and whisk gently (you just want to break up the eggs and get them mixed with the extract).
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the eggs and milk, and stir to mix and make a smooth, thick batter.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 and 1/2 hours or until the mixture has more than doubled in quantity.
Add oil to a deep frying pan and heat on medium heat until oil is hot (350 F).
Working with 2 tablespoons, scoop and drop the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Let fry for 1 minute until nicely browned all over.
Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with a generous drizzle of homemade syrup.
